Toyota Land Cruiser Lc5 D 4d A (2010)
2010 Toyota Land Cruiser Lc5 D 4d A
CarHunch analysed 171 real MOT records for the 2010 Toyota Land Cruiser Lc5 D 4d A. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
This 2010 Land Cruiser LC5 has a first-time pass rate of just 4.5%, catastrophically below the 80% UK average—meaning nearly 96 out of 100 fail their MOT on the first attempt. The good news is that zero vehicles in this cohort have ever recorded a dangerous defect, so while these cars need serious work, that work isn't usually safety-critical.
At 126,000 miles median, these are genuinely well-used vehicles, yet they average only 0.05 failures per car across their entire MOT history, suggesting the initial test failures are often minor or rectifiable issues rather than systemic rot. Before buying one, budget for immediate pre-purchase inspection by a diesel specialist—the abysmal first-time pass rate indicates these trucks need competent maintenance to pass, not that they're fundamentally broken.
What to check before buying a 2010 Toyota Land Cruiser Lc5 D 4d A
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.
