2012 Toyota Land Cruiser Troop CarrierVDJ78R V8 Turbo Diesel - White - 197,586km - 11-Seat Passenger Van, Four Wheel Drive
Overview
This is a 2012 Toyota Land Cruiser VDJ78R, a purpose-built 11-seat passenger van powered by Toyota's legendary 4.5-litre V8 turbo diesel engine. The VDJ78R represents the final generation of Toyota's heavy-duty Land Cruiser van platform, engineered for durability, reliability, and genuine off-road capability. With 197,586 kilometres on the odometer, this vehicle has been worked but remains mechanically sound and serviceable. The white exterior presents with honest patina consistent with its working life, whilst the interior retains the factory configuration designed for passenger transport or expedition use.
The 1VD-FIV V8 turbo diesel is one of the most robust engines Toyota has produced, delivering genuine torque and longevity. This particular example shows evidence of regular maintenance with service records visible in the logbook. The five-speed manual transmission is paired with full-time four-wheel drive, making this a genuinely capable vehicle for remote travel, expedition work, or passenger transport in challenging terrain. The 11-seat configuration (including driver) makes it suitable for group travel, tour operations, or family expeditions where capacity matters.
Condition
Exterior: The white paint presents with honest wear and minor stone chipping across the bonnet and leading edges, consistent with 197,585 kilometres of use. Panel gaps are even and body lines are straight with no evidence of accident repair. The roof rack and factory bull bar show surface oxidation and patina but remain structurally sound. Rubbing strips and trim show age-appropriate wear. All windows are intact and functional. The vehicle displays the honest patina of a working van rather than showroom condition, but the structural integrity is sound.
Interior: The cabin retains the factory 11-seat configuration with a mix of cloth and vinyl seating. Seat coverings show wear consistent with age and usage, with some bolster wear visible on driver and front passenger seats. The dashboard is intact with no cracks visible. The steering wheel shows normal wear. Climate controls are present and functional. Headlining is secure. The interior is clean and serviceable rather than pristine, reflecting genuine use rather than fleet neglect.
Engine Bay: The 1VD-FIV V8 turbo diesel engine bay presents cleanly with no obvious oil leaks or fluid seepage. Engine cover badging confirms the V8 turbo specification. Fluid levels are appropriate. Battery terminals show minor oxidation (surface level, not structural). Air filter housing is clean. The engine bay reflects regular maintenance and careful operation. No modifications are evident.
Undercarriage: Visible undercarriage components show minor surface rust consistent with age and kilometres, typical of a vehicle that has seen genuine use. Suspension components are present and appear serviceable. No structural rust or corrosion is evident from visible angles. The vehicle sits level with no obvious suspension sag.
Wheels and Tyres: Factory alloy wheels are fitted with all-terrain pattern tyres showing moderate tread depth. Wheels present well with minor kerb wear visible but no structural damage. Spare tyre is mounted on the rear door and appears serviceable.
