How reliable is the Toyota Land Cruiser Amazon compared with other cars?

We do not publish a comparison for the Toyota Land Cruiser Amazon, because the cars of this model that have been tested do not cover a wide enough range of ages and mileages. Its raw pass rate is 65.3% across 796 tests, but comparing a raw rate between models mostly ranks them by how new they are rather than how good they are. The failure and advisory patterns further down the page are still drawn from real tests and are worth reading.

What is the most common MOT failure on a Toyota Land Cruiser Amazon?

The item recorded most often is "Body, cab or chassis excessively corroded at a mounting point", which appears in 24.1% of failed Toyota Land Cruiser Amazon tests. Because one failed test can list several items, these shares do not add up to 100%.

What do testers most often warn about on a Toyota Land Cruiser Amazon?

The most common advisory is "A wheel bearing with excessive play", noted on 22.4% of all Toyota Land Cruiser Amazon tests. An advisory is not a failure: it flags something that will likely need attention before the next test.

What mileage does a Toyota Land Cruiser Amazon usually have at its MOT?

The average odometer reading recorded at test is 169,861 miles. This is the mileage across all tested examples of every age, not an annual figure, so treat it as a description of the fleet rather than a target for one car.

Are most Toyota Land Cruiser Amazon models petrol or diesel?

Of the Toyota Land Cruiser Amazon cars tested, 79% are diesel, 18% are petrol, 3% are lpg. Fuel type affects which items tend to fail, particularly emissions and exhaust components.

Toyota Land Cruiser Amazon MOT pass rate & common failures

From 796 recorded MOT tests of the Toyota Land Cruiser Amazon, published by DVSA.

Data updated 29 July 2026

Quick answer

Across 796 MOT tests, 65.3% of Toyota Land Cruiser Amazon tests ended in a pass. This figure is not adjusted for age or mileage, so it is not a reliability ranking: the Toyota Land Cruiser Amazon fleet does not yet cover a wide enough spread of ages and distances to compare it fairly against other models. Its most commonly recorded failure is body, cab or chassis excessively corroded at a mounting point, which appears in 24.1% of failed tests. Cars of this model average 169,861 miles on the odometer when tested.

We are not publishing a ranking for the Land Cruiser Amazon. The examples tested do not cover a wide enough spread of ages and mileages to compare it fairly, and an unadjusted pass rate mostly sorts models by how recently they were bought rather than how well they were built. The failure and advisory patterns below come from the same 796 tests and are worth reading on their own terms.

How this was worked out

Method and limits

Figures come from the DVSA anonymised MOT testing dataset, published under the Open Government Licence. Only class 4 initial tests are counted: retests are excluded so a car appears once, and abandoned tests are excluded entirely. No adjusted rate is shown because this model's tested examples do not cover enough of the national age and mileage range for standardisation to mean anything.

An MOT measures whether a car met a legal standard on the day. It is not a breakdown record, a service history or a running-cost estimate, and a pass rate is a property of a fleet rather than a prediction about one car.
