Our Verdict
The 2017 Toyota Land Cruiser shows generally reliable performance with a recent MOT pass, but two recorded failures suggest potential maintenance risks. A cautious purchase is recommended with thorough pre-purchase inspection.
Prioritise checking the rear brake pads and windscreen wiper mechanism to confirm repairs were properly addressed. Verify service history for regular maintenance, particularly brake system servicing. Negotiate based on the two MOT failures, which may indicate deferred maintenance. Be cautious of potential rust or suspension issues common in older Land Cruisers. Request a full service history to confirm the vehicle's maintenance record.
Diesel fuel economy is moderate for a large SUV, with typical combined figures around 25-30 mpg. Road tax is £155 annually (zero emission rate for diesel vehicles registered before 2017). Insurance group is likely in the higher range (group 25-30) due to the vehicle's size and value. Brake pad replacements and diesel particulate filter maintenance could add £300-£500 every 3-5 years. Estimated annual running cost: £1,500-£2,000.
Focus on the rear brake pads and their replacement history, as the 2024 failure indicates potential neglect. Inspect the windscreen wiper arm and blade for proper function. Check for suspension wear, body rust (especially around wheel arches), and engine oil leaks. Verify that the 2026 MOT failure was fully repaired. Examine the vehicle's undercarriage for corrosion and check the condition of the diesel particulate filter.
This 2017 Land Cruiser has a mostly clean MOT history with a recent pass at 69,251 miles, though it has had two minor failures: thin rear brake pads (2024) and an ineffective windscreen wiper (2026). The mileage is slightly below average for its age, and the vehicle retains its original diesel engine. No aggregate reliability data is available for this model.
No aggregate MOT data available for the Toyota Land Cruiser model, but the vehicle's history shows manageable maintenance issues rather than systemic failures.
