2002 Toyota Landcruiser Colorado 3.0L Diesel · ML52 FWY

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of passing its annual inspections. The most recent test conducted in October 2025 at 121,915 miles resulted in no defects, indicating that the vehicle currently meets the minimum safety standards. While a single failure was recorded in October 2023, the immediate pass on the re-test suggests the owner was proactive in rectifying identified issues rather than allowing faults to persist. The mileage pattern is notably low for a 24-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,080 miles per year. Between May 2022 and October 2025, the vehicle covered 8,072 miles, showing a very relaxed usage pattern of roughly 2,700 miles annually recently. This low annual accumulation typically reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though low-mileage vehicles of this age can suffer from degradation of rubber-based components and brake seals if they remain stationary for extended periods. Given the clean records in recent years, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and frame, as Land Cruisers of this era are prone to hidden corrosion that may not always trigger an MOT failure until it becomes structural. Examine the suspension bushes and ball joints for signs of cracking or perished rubber, as low mileage does not prevent material fatigue. You should also verify the brake discs for surface pitting or thinning, as infrequent use can lead to uneven wear and seized calipers.
