2010 GXL Landcruiser

[Jack Wade]

Hi All,

I am ready to purchase a deisel landcruiser and am looking at a second hand 2010 GXL with about 190k on the clock.

Is there anything I should be on the look out for when inspecting, or issues that are common to this model?

Any advice would be much appreciated.

Cheers,

 

Jack

I have found this Australian vehicle website useful for details of recalls, faults and problems.

Google search came up with this URL

Thanks Ashley, I had a look at those links, very useful.

Are you (or anyone else) aware of any specific component that are likely to need replacing on a vehicle of this age and kms?

Overall, they are a fairly solid rig. They aren't really known for being unreliable.

Not a 4WD owner and no experience with diesel engines but I can research. 

Based upon a few other URLs that I read, best to pay attention to the air filters to avoid/minimise dust or foreign objects affecting the twin turbochargers and also lookout for sludge in the engine. Regular servicing and changes of both oil and filter at the same time are recommended. With that many KMs, check whether shock absorbers and suspension bushes etc have been or need replacing.

Which are all common things to look for on any vehicle really.
