Our Verdict
Proceed with extreme caution. While the Land Cruiser is legendary for durability, this specific example shows significant signs of age-related corrosion and mechanical fatigue that require immediate professional attention.
Before committing, you must have a specialist inspect the chassis. The MOT notes explicitly mention that the chassis has been undersealed, which can often mask structural corrosion; you need to ensure the metal underneath is sound and not flaking. Check for any evidence of off-road use, as this can accelerate wear on the suspension and undercarriage components noted in the history.
Negotiate the price heavily to account for the urgent repairs required, specifically the leaking coolant pipes and the worn anti-roll bar bushes. Ask the seller for receipts for the recent MOT rectification work to see if these were professionally addressed or merely 'patched' to secure a pass.
As a 3.0-litre diesel, this Land Cruiser will be expensive to run. You should expect fuel economy in the low 20s (mpg), and given its age and engine size, road tax will be at the higher end of the scale. Insurance will also be significant due to the vehicle's size and value as a premium SUV.
Maintenance is the biggest financial risk here. With nearly 200,000 miles on the clock, you should budget for frequent repairs to the braking system, suspension, and cooling components. An annual running cost, including fuel, tax, insurance, and a contingency fund for repairs, is likely to exceed £2,500-£3,000.
Focus your inspection on the underside. The MOT history highlights 'front to rear chassis and components corroded/flaking' in 2024, and the current underseal makes it difficult to verify the extent of this. Check the rear brake back plates for rot and ensure the parking brake, which has been a recurring failure point, operates firmly and holds the vehicle securely on an incline.
Test the coolant system thoroughly, as the offside rear coolant pipes were flagged as leaking in May 2026. Ensure the air conditioning and all electrical systems, including the fog lights and seat belts, are fully functional, as recent MOT failures indicate these have been neglected. Listen for any knocking from the suspension, specifically the front end where the drag link and anti-roll bar bushes were recently noted as worn.
This 2010 Toyota Land Cruiser has covered 197,066 miles, reflecting its age but also highlighting the wear and tear associated with high-mileage utility vehicles. The MOT history reveals recurring issues with chassis corrosion and suspension components, alongside a recent struggle to pass inspection in May 2026. Prospective buyers should be wary of the extensive list of advisories and recent failures, which suggest that the vehicle is entering a period where major maintenance is inevitable.
While the Land Cruiser is generally considered one of the most reliable 4x4s, this specific high-mileage unit is showing typical signs of advanced age and component fatigue.
