Toyota Land Cruiser (2010)
2010 Toyota Land Cruiser
CarHunch analysed 532 real MOT records for the 2010 Toyota Land Cruiser. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2010 Toyota Land Cruiser passes its MOT on the first attempt 86% of the time, a solid 6 percentage points above the UK average, which suggests these are genuinely robust vehicles. However, nearly 1 in 5 owners will encounter a dangerous defect at some point, so structural and safety issues deserve close inspection before purchase.
At 74,000 miles median, these Land Cruisers show realistic wear for their age, yet average 1.65 failures per test, indicating suspension, brake, and emissions components do eventually need attention. The high advisory count of 12.5 per vehicle reflects typical high-mileage wear rather than design flaws—budget for routine maintenance, but get a pre-purchase inspection focused on steering geometry and undercarriage corrosion.
What to check before buying a 2010 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.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
