About the Toyota Land Cruiser

Enter the 17-character VIN of a Toyota Land Cruiser and the decoder reads three things from it: the manufacturer, the model year and the country of manufacture. Our data for this model covers 20 versions with model years from 1935 to 2024, all listed as SUV, with power between 72 and 415 hp. Cars built before 1981 will not carry a 17-character VIN, so the decoder needs a VIN of that length to work.

A VIN does not contain accidents, mileage, theft records or previous owners, and the decoder cannot show them. That information comes from a paid vehicle history report. When you look at a car, compare the decoded year and country with the registration papers and with the VIN on the car itself.

Learn more about VINs

A VIN is built from six parts, and each one says something about the vehicle. Our guides explain how to read it and what it can and cannot tell you.

Before you buy a used Toyota Land Cruiser

  • Compare the VIN on the dashboard, the door frame and the documents. All three should match.
  • Look for signs of tampering around the VIN plate and the door frame sticker.
  • Ask for the service history and check it against the car.
  • Run a full history report to see recorded damage, mileage and theft records.

Frequently asked questions

In which years was the Toyota Land Cruiser built?

Our data lists model years 1935 - 2024 across 20 versions of the Toyota Land Cruiser. The VIN of a particular car shows its model year in the 10th character.

How many versions of the Toyota Land Cruiser are in your data?

20 versions, in 1 body style, with power up to 415 hp. Use the VIN to confirm which one you have.

How can I confirm which Land Cruiser version a car is from its VIN?

The decoder gives you the model year and country of manufacture, not a version name. Our data includes versions such as J100, J200, J250 and J300, as well as a Land Cruiser (70, Japan), so use the decoded year and country together with the registration document to narrow it down.

What should I compare between the VIN plate and the documents?

Check that all 17 characters match exactly, with no letter I, O or Q, which are never used in a VIN. The 10th character stands for the model year and the 11th for the plant, so those should agree with what the papers say about the car.

What will the free decoder not tell me about a Land Cruiser?

It will not show accidents, mileage, theft or owners, because none of that is stored in the VIN. It also does not tell you the exact power of a given car, since our data spans 72 to 415 hp across the different versions.
