Verdict
4x4 à châssis séparé (J150), vendu en France comme Land Cruiser, avec un diesel 2,8 l en boîte manuelle ou automatique à 6 rapports. Peu de retours francophones sont publiés et aucune note Euro NCAP n'a été trouvée. Les sources, surtout australiennes, citent le filtre à particules et la vanne EGR comme première source de pannes : vérifiez leur état et l'usage (trajets courts) avant d'acheter.

You are importing the car to:
Import penalty (malus) in France
- The CO₂ malus follows the scale of the year the vehicle was first registered, in France or abroad (WLTP or NEDC scale depending on its registration certificate).
- For an imported used car, it is reduced by a flat-rate discount based on its age in months (scheme in force since 1 March 2025). The weight malus also applies on first registration in France.
- The malus is zero for a car more than fifteen years old or first registered before 1 January 2015.

Known faults
Filtre à particules et vanne EGR du diesel
Severity 2/3 · CostlyUnsealed 4X4 classe le filtre à particules et la vanne EGR en tête des pannes du Prado 150 : fumée, mode dégradé, surconsommation et perte de puissance. Le filtre se colmate surtout en usage de trajets courts, et la régénération demande des trajets routiers réguliers ; il cite des défaillances entre 60 000 et 200 000 km. Willys Workshop signale aussi un calaminage de l'EGR en ville ou sur pistes poussiéreuses sur le 2.8 récent.

Inspection checklist
Toyota Land Cruiser Prado IV — inspection checklist
Things to check
- Demander l'usage : un Prado utilisé pour des trajets courts a plus de risque de filtre à particules colmaté.
- Lire le carnet : régénérations, nettoyage de la vanne EGR, remplacement éventuel du filtre.
- Contrôler à froid et à chaud l'absence de fumée excessive et de mode dégradé.
- Vérifier la transmission intégrale, les suspensions et le châssis (usage tout-terrain ou attelage).
- Exiger l'historique complet d'entretien chez Toyota.
Questions to ask the seller
- Le filtre à particules ou la vanne EGR ont-ils déjà été nettoyés ou remplacés ?
- Quel usage principal : ville, route, tout-terrain, remorque ?
- Le carnet d'entretien est-il complet et tenu chez un concessionnaire ?
Test-drive tip: read the fault codes
A warning light that is off proves nothing: a fault may have been cleared just before the viewing. A Bluetooth OBD2 scanner, plugged in under the steering wheel and read on your phone, shows stored codes and whether all emissions readiness tests have run since the last reset.
