The TOYOTA LAND CRUISER COLORADO (1996-02) 5DR STATION WAGON 3.0 D4-D FX AUTO 8ST is a large, five-door diesel 4x4 SUV, built for space and tough all-weather travel rather than city-car economy. In the UK, it sits among established, durable off-roaders, offering a practical alternative to more road-focused family SUVs. Its automatic gearbox and roomy eight-seat layout are well suited to larger families, people towing or carrying equipment, and drivers regularly travelling beyond smooth roads. Its commanding view and go-anywhere reputation appeal; against softer SUV rivals, it favours rugged usefulness, while age makes condition and running costs worth checking carefully. mycarcheck.com has two checks for this version, covering one VIN, so figures are a small snapshot, not a market-wide guide. They show average recorded mileage of 259,000 miles, around 5,000 annual miles, two previous keepers and a £1,100 average private-sale valuation. Check each example’s history and condition carefully before buying.
