Toyota Land Cruiser (2023)
2023 Toyota Land Cruiser
CarHunch analysed 156 real MOT records for the 2023 Toyota Land Cruiser. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2023 Land Cruiser's 47.8% first-time pass rate is a significant red flag—nearly 32 percentage points below the UK average of 80%—suggesting these vehicles are arriving at MOT with preventable issues. The good news is that dangerous defects are rare at just 0.6%, so safety-critical problems aren't the main culprit; instead, owners are facing niggly faults that should have been caught before the test.
At an average mileage of 25,405 miles for vehicles around two years old, these Land Cruisers are being driven normally, which makes the poor pass rate more concerning—it's not explained away by high mileage or harsh use. Before committing to one, insist on a pre-purchase inspection by a Toyota specialist and ask the seller for full service records, since the low failure count (0.06 per vehicle) suggests most problems are fixable rather than structural.
What to check before buying a 2023 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.
