2017 Toyota Land Cruiser 2.8L Diesel · WM17 AEJ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, maintaining a clean pass record following minor mechanical failures. The most recent inspection conducted in November 2024 at 85,134 miles resulted in no defects recorded, indicating that the vehicle currently meets all regulatory standards. This follows a brief failure in March 2024 for a blown offside front lamp and a damaged nearside rear seat belt, both of which were rectified before the subsequent pass. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical usage for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,500 miles annually. There is a notable period of activity between March 2023 and March 2024, where the vehicle covered over 16,000 miles in a single year. Since the November 2024 test, the vehicle has covered significantly additional mileage, though the data remains sparse toward the current date. The steady progression suggests a regular use cycle which is generally beneficial for preventing seals and mechanical components from seizing due to long periods of inactivity. A buyer should pay attention to the braking system, as the 2023 test at 64,647 miles flagged thin inner brake pads and a low brake hydraulic reservoir level. While these issues appear to have been addressed, they indicate a history of wear or potentially a minor leak that should be visually inspected in the brake lines. Given the age and mileage of this Land Cruiser, a physical inspection of the chassis for corrosion and the suspension bushings is essential, as the MOT record does not detail the structural integrity of rubber components or common failure points on this model.
