Our Verdict
A solid option for those seeking a large
When inspecting this specific vehicle, your primary focus should be the underside and the braking system. Although the 2022 MOT recorded corroded brake pipes near the fuel tank and nearside rear, the subsequent passes in 2023, 2024, and 2025 suggest these may have been addressed. You should ask for evidence of this work to ensure the corrosion was professionally rectified rather than simply masked with grease.
Given the high mileage of 188,874, check for any signs of fluid leaks around the large 4686cc engine and the drivetrain. Ensure the service history (if available) accounts for major interval changes, as high-mileage petrol engines of this size require consistent maintenance to remain reliable. Negotiate based on the high mileage and the potential upcoming costs associated with a vehicle of this age and capacity.
Running this Land Cruiser will be expensive due to its large 4.7L petrol engine and heavy chassis. Expect high fuel consumption, particularly in urban environments, and a high insurance group rating common for large-displacement 4x4s.
Maintenance costs can be significant; while Toyota parts are generally robust, components for large-capacity engines and heavy-duty suspension can be costly. The estimated annual running cost is relatively high, factoring in the high fuel demand and the typical maintenance requirements for a vehicle approaching 200,000 miles.
Specifically inspect the brake lines from the front to the rear, particularly near the fuel tank, as this was a recorded failure point in 2022. Check for any signs of fresh grease or sealant that might be used to hide existing corrosion on the pipes.
Additionally, examine the anti-roll bar linkages and bushes. Although the 2022 MOT noted a worn nearside rear linkage, you should check the current state of the suspension components for any play or noise. Finally, given the model's aggregate failure trends, check the condition of the headlamps and the thickness of the brake pads during your inspection.
This 2001 Toyota Land Cruiser features a substantial 4.7L petrol engine and has covered 188,874 miles as of its last MOT in October 2025. While the vehicle shows a history of corrosion on brake pipes in 2022, the three most recent MOT tests have passed without any recorded defects. The mileage is significantly higher than the model average of 6,836 miles per year, reflecting its long-term use.
Aggregate data from over 19,000 vehicles shows an 81% MOT pass rate, with common issues relating to headlamps, anti-roll bars, and brake pads.
