2010 Toyota Land Cruiser 3.0L Diesel · MV10 HXY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a concerning trend regarding structural integrity. While it passed the latest test in November 2025 at 148,538 miles, the tester flagged corroded rear coil springs and corrosion on the rear chassis rails. This follows a significant failure in February 2023 where excessive corrosion on the inner cab or chassis was identified as seriously affecting strength. Although the vehicle has passed since that failure, the persistence of structural rust indicates that chassis degradation is an ongoing process rather than a resolved issue. The recorded mileage of 148,538 miles over 16 years averages to approximately 9,284 miles per annum, which is consistent with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. The data shows regular usage patterns, with roughly 7,600 miles covered between December 2023 and December 2024, and another 7,500 miles followed by November 2025. This consistent movement suggests the vehicle has not sat stationary for long periods, which generally helps prevent brake seizing, despite the mechanical wear noted in the record. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the underbody, specifically focusing on the areas around the cab mounting sills where structural weakness was previously noted. The history of worn anti-roll bar linkages and corroded coil springs suggests the suspension system is nearing the end of its service life. Furthermore, the recurring advisories for tyres worn to the legal limit in 2023 indicate a lack of proactive maintenance regarding basic consumable items. The buyer should also verify the parking brake adjustment to ensure the excessive movement flagged in early 2023 has been properly rectified.
