Toyota Landcruiser Amazon (2004)

184 real MOT outcomes analysed • 79.2% first-time pass rate

2004 Toyota Landcruiser Amazon

CarHunch analysed 184 real MOT records for the 2004 Toyota Landcruiser Amazon. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.

The 2004 Landcruiser Amazon sits almost exactly at the UK average pass rate of 79.2%, but the real concern here is that 40.8% of these vehicles have experienced a dangerous defect—well above the typical threshold and a serious red flag for buyers. Diesel models, which make up 156 of the 184 vehicles analysed, pass slightly below the petrol average at 78.7%, suggesting no significant fuel-type advantage.

These Landcruisers are averaging 106,000 miles, which is reasonable for a 20-year-old workhorse, but the 3.79 failures per vehicle reveal consistent mechanical issues when they do fail. With nearly 28 advisories per vehicle on average, expect age-related wear across multiple systems—so budget for regular maintenance and have a pre-purchase inspection focus on suspension, steering, and engine seals before committing.

What to check before buying a 2004 Toyota Landcruiser Amazon

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.
  • ⚠️ 40.8% 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.
