Toyota Land Cruiser (2011)
2011 Toyota Land Cruiser
CarHunch analysed 410 real MOT records for the 2011 Toyota Land Cruiser. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2011 Land Cruiser passes its MOT first time at 87.1%, meaningfully above the UK average of 80%, which is a strong mark for a 13-year-old vehicle. However, nearly a quarter of these vehicles (24.4%) have recorded a dangerous defect at some point, which is a genuine concern for safety-conscious buyers and warrants a thorough pre-purchase inspection.
These Land Cruisers are running at modest mileage for their age—a median of just 68,500 miles—suggesting they've been relatively well looked after, though the average of 10.8 advisories per vehicle flags ongoing wear items you should budget for. Before buying, get a full independent inspection to confirm the condition of suspension, brakes, and electrical systems, as these typically account for the recorded failures on this model.
What to check before buying a 2011 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.
