1996 Toyota Land Cruiser: petrol or diesel?

Petrol, diesel and hybrid versions go wrong in different ways, so each has its own figures from the MOTs these cars had during 2023–2025. Pick the one you’re looking at: the fuel is on the logbook and in the car’s MOT history.

Petrol 68% pass first time (all 1996 cars: 66%) Nothing stands out above the usual rate 174 MOTsSee the petrol guide › Diesel 71% pass first time (all 1996 cars: 66%) Stands out: chassis rust or damage 2× 475 MOTsSee the diesel guide ›

Hybrid versions had too few MOTs for figures of their own, or weren’t sold.
