Chassis
Chassis and underside
Land Cruisers are built on a strong separate chassis, but salt and mud take their toll. Clear photos of the underside help us value fairly first time.
What we check when we value a used Land Cruiser
This is what we look at on every used Land Cruiser, and what is worth telling us, so your offer is right first time.
- High miles accepted
- Faults accepted
- Modified vehicles welcome
Engine
Engine and injectors
Tell us about smoke, rough running, knocking or warning lights, and any injector, turbo or timing work that has been done.
Suspension
Suspension and steering
Some Land Cruisers have height-adjustable rear suspension or KDSS. Tell us if it sits level and whether any warnings show.
Drivetrain
Gearbox and 4x4 system
Tell us about any clunks, slipping or warning lights, and whether the transfer case and diff locks work as they should.
Equipment
Trim and equipment
Tell us the trim, the seat count and any extras: roof tents, drawers, winches, snorkels or upgraded wheels and suspension.
History
Service history and paperwork
A Land Cruiser with a thick folder of invoices is easier to value. Mention big jobs like injectors, timing belts or chassis work.
Your checklist
- The V5C registration document
- Photo ID: passport or driving licence
- All keys, including the spare
- Service history and invoices
- Any removable equipment you are including, such as a roof tent
- If there is finance: the settlement figure from your lender
This page explains what we look at when we value a used Land Cruiser. It is not a price guide: every vehicle is valued individually, free and without obligation.
Land Cruiser valuation FAQs
Should I fix the rust before selling?
No. Sell it as it is and send us photos.
Do you need the service history?
It helps a great deal, but it is not essential.
Should I remove my expedition kit?
That is up to you. If it stays, we value it in.
Can you collect a Land Cruiser that will not start?
Yes, free on a recovery truck anywhere in the UK.
Will you give me a price over the phone?
We give a firm offer once we have the registration, mileage and a few photos.
