Should I check the MOT history before buying a 2021 Toyota Land Cruiser Active Com A?

Yes. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. A full MOT history analysis will highlight patterns that a single test result won't reveal.

Check brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that is expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.

Tyres and brakes are the most common advisory items on vehicles of this age. Budget for replacement if they are near the limit, and factor this into your offer price.

This 2021 Land Cruiser is more reliable than the typical UK car at MOT, with a 90.7% first-time pass rate against the 80% national average, and only 3.5% of vehicles ever flagged with dangerous defects—well below concern threshold. The petrol-only powertrain means no fuel-type variability to worry about.

At an average mileage of 41,472 miles for a three-year-old model, these are moderately used examples. The low failure rate of 0.16 per vehicle combined with modest advisories (0.9 per car) suggests Toyota's engineering is holding up, though you should still have any advisory items inspected by a specialist—brakes and suspension are the usual culprits on Land Cruisers—before committing to purchase.
