Our Verdict
Proceed with caution due to high mileage
Given the high mileage of 175,249 miles, your primary focus should be on verifying the service history for major component replacements, such as timing belts or turbocharger inspections. While the recent MOTs are clean, the 2024 failure regarding front anti-roll bar pins and bushes suggests that suspension components are a known area of wear for this vehicle.
Negotiate based on the mileage, as this vehicle has been driven much more intensively than the typical Land Cruiser in our database. Ensure that the TPMS (Tyre Pressure Monitoring System) issue noted in 2023 has been fully resolved and is not a recurring fault, and check that all recent suspension work was carried out by a professional garage.
As a 2.7L diesel, running costs will be higher than a standard passenger car. You should expect significant fuel consumption, especially if used for towing or off-road, though the 2755cc engine is a staple for this model's longevity.
Tax and insurance groups for a Land Cruiser of this specification tend to be relatively high. Maintenance costs can be substantial due to the size of components like tyres and brakes; however, the MOT history shows that common issues like anti-roll bar components are manageable repairs. Estimate annual running costs to be in the higher bracket for a diesel SUV.
Specifically inspect the front suspension assembly. The 2024 MOT failure identified excessively worn front anti-roll bar pins or bushes, so check for any knocking or play in the steering and suspension when test-driving.
Additionally, check the windscreen and sun visor area. A previous failure in 2023 was due to an obstruction in the driver's swept area of the windscreen. Finally, verify that the TPMS light is no longer active on the dashboard, as this was a recorded issue in the 2023 test.
This 2016 black Toyota Land Cruiser has covered 175,249 miles as of its last MOT in October 2025. While the mileage is significantly higher than the model average of 6,836 per year, the vehicle has passed its two most recent tests without defects. The history shows a mix of minor visibility and suspension-related failures that were subsequently rectified.
The Land Cruiser shows an average MOT pass rate of 81.0% across 19,354 analysed vehicles, with common failures involving headlamps, anti-roll bars, and brake pads.
