Should I check the MOT history before buying a 2022 Toyota Land Cruiser?

Yes. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. A full MOT history analysis will highlight patterns that a single test result won't reveal.

What corrosion should I look for when inspecting a 2022 Toyota Land Cruiser?

Check brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that is expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.

How are tyres and brakes typically on a 2022 Toyota Land Cruiser?

Tyres and brakes are the most common advisory items on vehicles of this age. Budget for replacement if they are near the limit, and factor this into your offer price.

Is the 2022 Toyota Land Cruiser reliable?

Based on MOT data from 717 vehicles, the 2022 Toyota Land Cruiser has a first-time MOT pass rate of 95.3%, indicating generally reliable for its class. Always check the full MOT history of any specific vehicle before buying.

Do I need an HPI check when buying a 2022 Toyota Land Cruiser?

Yes. The MOT history will not show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status. An HPI check covers these areas and should be part of any used car purchase.

The 2022 Toyota Land Cruiser is significantly more reliable than the UK average, with a first-time MOT pass rate of 93.4% compared to 80%—this is a genuinely impressive result. Dangerous defects are rare, affecting just 1.3% of vehicles, so structural or safety issues are not a buyer concern here.

These cars are still young with a median mileage of just 26,147 miles, which explains the low failure rate of 0.09 per vehicle. When you do find advisories (averaging 0.4 per vehicle), they're typically minor wear items rather than serious problems—so if you're buying one, get a full service history check and budget for routine maintenance, but don't expect hidden nasties.

The 2022 Toyota Land Cruiser passes its MOT first time more often than most UK vehicles (95.3% vs ~80% average) — and when it does fail, it's usually something minor and cheap to fix.
