Toyota Land Cruiser (2000)
2000 Toyota Land Cruiser
CarHunch analysed 1,382 real MOT records for the 2000 Toyota Land Cruiser. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2000 Toyota Land Cruiser passes its MOT on first attempt just 72.7% of the time, notably below the UK average of 80%, and one in three of these vehicles have recorded a dangerous defect at some point—a significant concern for safety-critical systems. Diesel and petrol variants perform similarly (72.6% and 73.5% respectively), so fuel type isn't a differentiator here.
At 119,000 miles median, these vehicles are well-used for their age, yet they're racking up an average of 4.07 failures and 23.6 advisories per test, suggesting wear-related issues are common. Before buying, budget for suspension work and brake servicing—request the full MOT history to see whether failures cluster around the same components, which would signal a known weak spot rather than general neglect.
What to check before buying a 2000 Toyota Land Cruiser
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.
- ⚠️ 33% of these vehicles have had a dangerous defect recorded. Enter the reg below — the full MOT history will show exactly what was flagged and whether it was resolved.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
