2004 Toyota Land Cruiser 4.2L Diesel · GM04 PHA

The 2004 Toyota Land Cruiser presents a stable roadworthiness status with its most recent test on 19 September 2025 at 185,401 miles returning a pass and no defects recorded. The maintenance trend across the available history is consistent and clean, with every annual examination from 2022 through 2025 showing passes and no advisories raised by testers. Annual mileage sits at roughly 8,400 miles per year against the vehicle's 22-year lifespan, a typical use pattern for this model. The records show 166,164 miles on 27 September 2022, rising to 179,737 by 15 September 2023, then 184,503 on 17 September 2024 and 185,401 in September 2025. The jump of over 13,500 miles in the 2022 to 2023 period is the only notable accumulation; subsequent years dropped to under 5,000 miles annually, suggesting lighter recent use. The DVSA log is sparse, with a duplicate 27 September 2022 entry showing both a fail and pass at identical mileage and no defects listed, which points to an administrative re-test rather than a genuine mechanical fault. No recurring faults, suspension wear, brake defects, or structural corrosion appear anywhere in the MOT sequence, so the history alone raises no red flags on consumables or chassis integrity. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of the chassis rails, suspension bushes, and brake discs given the age and 185,000-mile tally, as MOT passes without advisories do not capture incipient wear below test thresholds. Given the clean record and low recent mileage, previous keepers appear to have maintained the vehicle to a passable standard without neglecting statutory testing. Verify service history and check for underbody rust during any viewing, since the MOT data provides no visibility on maintenance between tests.
