Looking at a Landcruiser?

Population figures cannot tell you whether one particular car is taxed, MOT-valid or safe to buy.

Check its registration free for the official tax, MOT and mileage record. If the car is still worth pursuing, the optional £9.99 full history check adds outstanding-finance, stolen and insurance write-off checks.

Wondering whether one particular Landcruiser is off the road? A free SORN check shows whether it is currently SORN, taxed or untaxed.

Is the Landcruiser disappearing?

Licensed numbers peaked at 33,195 in 2014 Q3 and stand at 22,126 in 2026 Q1, down 33%. That is down 16% in the five years since 2021 Q1. A further 10,083 are declared SORN — 1 in 3 of the 32,209 still on the DVLA record is off the road, laid up, part-restored or waiting to be sold.

A falling population is worth knowing before you buy: it usually means fewer donor cars, fewer specialists and slower parts supply, and it is why a good example of a scarce model can hold its price while a neglected one is hard to sell at any price.

Landcruiser MOT pass rate

In 2024, 65.6% of 3,827 Toyota Landcruiser MOTs passed first time — below the 71.2% UK average. Pass rate moves with age: 80.3% of cars aged 10–14 years passed first time, against 63.9% aged 15–30 years.

  • Brake Performance — 7.3% of tests. The brakes underperformed on the rolling road. Expect brake work rather than an adjustment.
  • Anti-roll Bars — 6.9% of tests. Worn anti-roll bar links or bushes. Inexpensive but often recurring.
  • Position Lamps — 4.5% of tests. A side or tail light out. Usually a bulb.
  • Exhaust Emissions — 4% of tests. The car exceeded its emissions limits. Can be a sensor or a service, but on a diesel it can also mean an expensive filter or catalyst.

Full age bands and failure notes are on the Toyota Landcruiser MOT pass rate page.

Before you buy

  • Brake Performance — 7.3% of tests in 2024. The brakes underperformed on the rolling road. Expect brake work rather than an adjustment.
  • Anti-roll Bars — 6.9% of tests in 2024. Worn anti-roll bar links or bushes. Inexpensive but often recurring.
  • Position Lamps — 4.5% of tests in 2024. A side or tail light out. Usually a bulb.
  • Exhaust Emissions — 4% of tests in 2024. The car exceeded its emissions limits. Can be a sensor or a service, but on a diesel it can also mean an expensive filter or catalyst.
  • Ask why it was off the road — Of the 32,209 Landcruiser vehicles still on the DVLA record, 1 in 3 is SORN (10,083 at 2026 Q1). A car that has been laid up needs a closer look at brakes, tyres and the MOT history.
  • Budget for a shrinking fleet — Licensed numbers are down 33% from the 2014 Q3 peak of 33,195. Fewer cars on the road usually means fewer donor parts and fewer specialists.
  • Check the actual Landcruiser — These figures describe the model group. Enter the registration for that vehicle's free MOT, tax and mileage record before you pay a deposit.
