This is a reasonable result that reflects typical UK reliability standards. Regular servicing and addressing advisories promptly will help keep your Landcruiser on the road.

The most common reasons a Toyota Landcruiser fails its MOT are the strength or continuity of the load bearing structure within 30cm of any seat belt anchorage (a 'prescribed area') is significantly reduced or inadequately repaired, a transmission shaft constant velocity joint boot missing or no longer prevents the ingress of dirt etc, the aim of a headlamp is not within limits laid down in the requirements. If you are preparing your Landcruiser for its MOT, checking these areas first could save you a retest fee. Our detailed fault analysis includes estimated repair costs for each failure type.
