Toyota Land Cruiser Icon D 4d Auto (2015)

121 real MOT outcomes analysed • 52.1% first-time pass rate

2015 Toyota Land Cruiser Icon D 4d Auto

CarHunch analysed 121 real MOT records for the 2015 Toyota Land Cruiser Icon D 4d Auto. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.

This Land Cruiser is a troubling prospect: just 52% pass their MOT first time, nearly 30 percentage points below the UK average of 80%, and with zero dangerous defects recorded across the cohort, the failures are structural rather than safety-critical. The diesel variant (which makes up virtually all 121 vehicles here) shows the same 52% pass rate, so fuel type isn't the differentiator.

At 94,000 miles average for a nine-year-old vehicle, mileage is reasonable, yet these cars are still racking up 0.24 failures per test on average—suggesting wear-related issues are stubborn and recurring. Before buying, budget for multiple MOT attempts and have a pre-purchase inspection specifically target the suspension, exhaust, and lighting systems, which typically drive failures on this model.

What to check before buying a 2015 Toyota Land Cruiser Icon D 4d Auto

Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.

  • 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
  • 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
  • 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
  • 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
