Based on 1,060 MOT tests from 78 vehicles analysed by VehicleScore®. The figures below describe that VehicleScore® sample. Recurring issues seen in VehicleScore® MOT data are not a claim that every TOYOTA LAND CRUISER has the same fault.
TOYOTA LAND CRUISER's have a very good reliability rating of 630/999. The score was calculated from the average of every TOYOTA LAND CRUISER that has had a registered MOT.
We calculated all of the below figures by getting the score from each vehicle make/model/year/fuel, which are each calculated a score. We then generate the average score, taking into account factors such as mileage and emissions.

Recurring issues seen in VehicleScore® MOT data are inspection findings from this sample. They are not a statement that every TOYOTA LAND CRUISER has the same fault. The median VehicleScore® in this sample is 516 out of 999.
These groups combine equivalent MOT comments, such as the same tyre note on different corners. Counts are comment occurrences in the sample, not a percentage of cars.
VehicleScore® MOT data includes 106 advisory comments in this group. Seen mainly as an advisory. These are comment occurrences, not a share of all cars.
These MOT comments record tyres that were worn, damaged, or close to the legal tread depth when the car was inspected.
What to inspect
Check the tread depth and look for uneven wear, cracking, or damage on all four tyres.
Example MOT wording: OFFSIDE FRONT TYRE WORN CLOSE TO THE LEGAL LIMIT (4.1.E.1)
VehicleScore® MOT data includes 56 advisory comments and 9 failure comments in this group. Seen as both an advisory and a failure reason. These are comment occurrences, not a share of all cars.
These MOT comments record corrosion the tester could see on the body or structure. Corrosion already named on a spring, brake, or other component is counted with that component.
What to inspect
Inspect the underside, sills, and subframe for heavy corrosion, especially where an advisory mentions it.
Example MOT wording: NEARSIDE FRONT BRAKE PIPE CORRODED, COVERED IN GREASE OR OTHER MATERIAL (1.1.11 (C))

Example MOT wording: OIL LEAK, BUT NOT EXCESSIVE (8.4.1 (A) (I))
VehicleScore® MOT data includes 19 failure comments in this group. Seen mainly as a failure reason. These are comment occurrences, not a share of all cars.

This is an inspection checklist based on MOT comments in the VehicleScore® sample. It does not mean the car you are looking at has these defects.
Tyre wear. Check the tread depth and look for uneven wear, cracking, or damage on all four tyres.
Corrosion. Inspect the underside, sills, and subframe for heavy corrosion, especially where an advisory mentions it.
Brake pad wear. Ask for recent pad replacement and look at the remaining pad thickness.
Windscreen damage. Look for chips and cracks, especially in the area swept by the wipers.
Oil leak. Look under the engine for fresh oil, and check the oil level.
Lamp and bulb faults. Switch on the side, brake, fog, and number-plate lamps.
Brake disc wear. Look at the disc faces for deep scoring, a lip at the edge, and corrosion.
Anti-roll bar issues. Listen for a knock when driving over uneven ground at low speed.
Common problems tell you what can affect TOYOTA LAND CRUISERs generally. VehicleScore® can check the history of the actual car you're considering.
VehicleScore® analyses MOT histories from vehicles in its own dataset. Sample sizes vary by model, and a small sample is labelled as such. MOT data records roadworthiness and inspection defects. It does not capture every mechanical or electronic problem a car can have, and a comment on one test is not proof that the model has an inherent fault.
