Toyota Landcruiser (2011)
2011 Toyota Landcruiser
CarHunch analysed 160 real MOT records for the 2011 Toyota Landcruiser. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2011 Toyota Landcruiser passes its MOT first time in 85.4% of cases, comfortably ahead of the UK average of 80%, which is reassuring—though one concern is that 21.9% of these vehicles have recorded a dangerous defect at some point, notably higher than typical. The diesel variant (which accounts for nearly all of these vehicles) achieves an 85.9% pass rate, suggesting the powertrain is fundamentally sound.
At 73,310 miles on average, these Landcruisers are running lower than expected for their age, indicating they've been relatively lightly used, yet they still rack up an average of 9.9 advisories per test—mostly minor wear and tear rather than serious failures. When evaluating a specific example, check its full MOT history for any pattern of dangerous defects, and budget for routine advisory work like brake fluid changes and suspension wear.
What to check before buying a 2011 Toyota Landcruiser
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.
- ⚠️ 21.9% 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.
