Toyota Landcruiser Amazon: MOT pass rate and reliability data
The Toyota Landcruiser Amazon fails its first MOT more often than the average UK car, by 4.1 percentage points. These figures come from the DVSA's full year of anonymised MOT results, covering 851 individual Toyota Landcruiser Amazon tests. Nothing here is an estimate or a survey.
The numbers
| First-time pass rate | 72.6% |
| UK national average | 76.7% |
| Difference | -4.1 points |
| Tests analysed | 851 |
| Average mileage at test | 170,556 miles |
| Average year of manufacture | 2002 |
| Reliability rank | 1,694 of 2,005 models |
What this means if you are buying one
A 72.6% first-time pass rate means roughly 27 in every 100 Toyota Landcruiser Amazons presented for MOT fail on the first attempt. That is worse than average, so budget for remedial work and treat a fresh 12-month MOT as a genuine selling point rather than a given. The average Toyota Landcruiser Amazon tested had covered 170,556 miles and was built around 2002.
What this means at salvage auction
Pass rate is a proxy for what a car costs to keep on the road. On a Toyota Landcruiser Amazon bought as a repairable salvage, assume the mechanical side needs more than the visible accident damage, and pad your repair estimate accordingly.
Before you bid: run the lot through the analyzer, check the car's own record, check the mileage, decode the VIN, and if it carries a marker use the write-off value calculator. Or compare it against another model.
Looking at a specific Toyota Landcruiser Amazon rather than the model in general? The free check covers its MOT and mileage history, and the full HPI report confirms the insurance write-off category, outstanding finance and whether it is recorded stolen, from licensed data for 5 credits. Already own one that has been damaged? Work out whether fixing it beats selling it with the repair or scrap calculator, and see what damaged Toyota Landcruiser Amazons actually sold for at UK salvage auction.
