2010 Toyota Landcruiser 3.0L Diesel · LS10 FDG

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history shows a worsening trend regarding the rear braking system. While the most recent test in March 2026 at 86,200 miles passed, the tester flagged both the nearside and offside rear brakes as binding. This follows a pattern of brake wear dating back to 2022 when thin rear pads were noted, suggesting that the rear caliper components or sliders are now requiring professional attention. The mileage profile is notably low for a sixteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,388 miles per year. Between March 2022 and March 2026, the vehicle covered 16,254 miles, indicating consistent but light-usage patterns. However, low mileage often correlates with age-related degradation of rubber components, as evidenced by the March 2025 test where all four tyres showed signs of cracking and a nail was found in the nearside rear tyre despite the low overall distance. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the rear brakes to determine if the binding is caused by seized pistons or corroded slide pins. The recurring mentions of thin pads in previous years suggest the previous owner may have neglected routine brake service intervals. You should also verify the condition of the suspension bushes and tyre hoses, as the low mileage and high age often lead to dry rot and perished rubber components that a standard MOT test may not fully capture until a failure occurs.
