2002 Toyota Land Cruiser 4.2L Diesel · PAT 308

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT on 26 November 2025 at 167,022 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the record shows a pattern of immediate failures followed by passes in both 2024 and 2025. The fact that the tester recorded no defects on the successful passes suggests that the owner rectified specific issues prior to the re-tests rather than allowing mechanical faults to persist over time. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 24-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,000 miles per year. Between the December 2023 test at 158,398 miles and the November 2024 test at 160,151 miles, the vehicle covered only 1,753 miles, indicating a period of low usage. However, the mileage increased by 6,871 miles between the November 2024 and November 2025 tests, showing a return to typical usage levels and consistent wear on drivetrain and suspension components. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the structural integrity, specifically focusing on the chassis and subframes where corrosion is common on Landisers of this era. While the MOT record shows no current advisories, the recurring failures in the last two years suggest that components such as lighting, emissions, or suspension bushes may be nearing the end of their service life. Check for binding brake calipers and perished rubber hoses to ensure the low annual mileage has not led to degradation of the braking system.
