How many miles will a 2000 Land Cruiser last?
The 18 mileages owners gave run from 15,000 to 243,000 miles, and half are at or under 102,000. With fewer than 20 mileages this page gives the median only: the other percentiles are too few to say. 10 came after 100,000 miles, 2 after 150,000 and 1 after 200,000.
These mileages say when owners reported a problem, not when a 2000 Land Cruiser wears out. NHTSA's file holds only vehicles whose owners complained; one that ran without a problem never appears in it, so it gives no lifespan and no cutoff, and how a vehicle was maintained matters more than any one odometer reading.

Common problems with the 2000 Land Cruiser
NHTSA's file holds 25 owner complaints on the 2000 Toyota Land Cruiser. Owners named the body structure most often: 7 complaints, and half of the 6 that list a mileage came after 101,000 miles. A complaint can name more than one component.
| Component (NHTSA category) | Complaints | Listing mileage | Median mileage |
|---|---|---|---|
| Structure | 7 | 6 | 102,000 |
| Power Train | 4 | 2 | Under 5 mileages |

Of the 25 complaints, 6 report a crash, 1 reports a fire and 3 report an injury (4 people reported injured). These are owners' reports to NHTSA, not findings.
Is the 2000 Land Cruiser a good year?
Complaint counts cannot say whether the 2000 is a good or a bad Land Cruiser: they rise with how many were sold and how long they have been on the road. They show how the 2000 compares with the other model years in NHTSA's file.
With 25 complaints, the 2000 ranks 3rd of the 13 Toyota Land Cruiser model years from 1988 to 2025 with 10 or more complaints, counting from the most. The most: the 2024 (40). The fewest: the 1988, 1992 and 2003 (10 each).
Recent model years have had less time to collect complaints, so their counts are still growing. No year is ranked by mileage here, because a year's median mileage mostly follows its age.
| Model year | Owner complaints | Listing mileage | Median mileage |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1988 Land Cruiser | 10 | 0 | Under 10 mileages |
| 1991 Land Cruiser | 11 | 2 | Under 10 mileages |
| 1992 Land Cruiser | 10 | 1 | Under 10 mileages |
| 1994 Land Cruiser | 20 | 1 | Under 10 mileages |
| 1996 Land Cruiser | 12 | 2 | Under 10 mileages |
| 1997 Land Cruiser | 17 | 1 | Under 10 mileages |
| 1998 Land Cruiser | 16 | 9 | Under 10 mileages |
| 1999 Land Cruiser | 23 | 15 | 179,526 |
| 2000 (this page) | 25 | 18 | 102,000 |
| 2002 Land Cruiser | 12 | 9 | Under 10 mileages |
| 2003 Land Cruiser | 10 | 7 | Under 10 mileages |
| 2024 Land Cruiser | 40 | 4 | Under 10 mileages |
| 2025 Land Cruiser | 33 | 2 | Under 10 mileages |

2000 Toyota Land Cruiser recalls
NHTSA's recall files of November 11, 2026 list no campaign for the 2000 model year under the names LAND CRUISER and LAND CRUISER HYBRID. Recalls can be filed under another name (a trim, a body or a series name), so a recall may still exist for the 2000 Toyota Land Cruiser: check the VIN with NHTSA's free recall lookup.
What these figures can and cannot tell you
- Complaints are owners’ reports to NHTSA. NHTSA publishes them without verifying them: a complaint is an allegation, not a defect finding.
- The mileage is what the owner wrote on the complaint; NHTSA does not check it against the odometer.
- The make, model and model year are the ones on the complaint. NHTSA records them as filed, so a few complaints sit under a model year the name was not sold in.
- They are not a lifespan study. The file holds only vehicles whose owners reported a problem, so these figures do not say how long a typical 2000 Land Cruiser lasts.
- A complaint count rises with how many vehicles were sold and how long they have been on the road, so it is not a rating of the 2000 Land Cruiser.
- Nothing here describes one vehicle: its title brands, odometer readings, accidents and open recalls are in the records for its own VIN.
- 7 of the 25 complaints on the 2000 Toyota Land Cruiser give no usable mileage (blank, zero, a filler such as 999999, or over 500,000) and are left out of every mileage figure.
- NHTSA names counted: LAND CRUISER and LAND CRUISER HYBRID. NHTSA files some vehicles under several names (a series name and a trim name, for example); this page counts only these.
- Recall-file names matched: LAND CRUISER and LAND CRUISER HYBRID.
