The TOYOTA LAND CRUISER COLORADO (1996-02) 5DR STATION WAGON 3.0 TD GX AUTO 8ST is a large, five-door, diesel 4x4 SUV, aimed at buyers needing space and go-anywhere ability rather than low-cost city motoring. With automatic transmission and seating for up to eight, it sits among practical, rugged family and leisure vehicles in the UK used market. Mycarcheck.com has recorded 71 checks for this model, covering 35 different VINs, giving a useful but not huge snapshot. The average private-sale valuation was £1,800, while recorded cars averaged 156,000 miles and around 5,000 miles a year. The average keeper count was about 4.4, so check each vehicle’s history and condition carefully; age, maintenance and use can make a substantial difference. Against softer road-focused SUVs, the Colorado is known for toughness and confidence on rough tracks, though its size and age mean modest economy and refinement. It suits adventurous families needing extra space.
