UK

This 2008 Toyota Landcruiser V8 D-4D has a first-time MOT pass rate of just 3.4%, which is dramatically below the UK average of 80%—these vehicles are arriving at test in severely compromised condition. The good news is that dangerous defects are virtually absent (0%), so while these engines and transmissions need serious work, they're not posing immediate safety threats.

At an average of 161,707 miles, these Landcruisers are well-used workhorses, yet the minimal failure count (0.01 per vehicle) suggests most issues are chronic wear rather than catastrophic. If you're considering one, assume a full mechanical inspection and budget for suspension, exhaust, and engine gasket work before purchase—the 3.4% pass rate is a clear signal that these survivors need attention.

MOT statistics not available

We have 132 2008 Toyota Landcruiser V8 D 4d A vehicles on record, but none have light-vehicle MOT history in our data source.

There are a few reasons this can happen:

  • Heavy commercial vehicle — trucks, buses and coaches over 3.5 tonnes are tested under the DVSA annual HGV/PSV regime, which uses a separate database not included in our data source
  • Imported vehicles — vehicles registered abroad and recently brought to the UK may have no UK MOT history yet
  • MOT-exempt — vehicles manufactured before 1986 qualify under the 40-year rolling exemption; some specialist and agricultural vehicles are also exempt
  • Never used on public roads — some vehicles are registered but kept off-road and have never required an MOT
