Is a dual-cab Toyota LandCruiser that's done 320,000km a worthy buy?

Just wondering if a dual-cab Toyota LandCruiser that’s done 320,000km is a worthy buy. All those kilometres have been highway driven, and the vehicle has been well looked after. Do things go wrong with them, or should I just stay away from anything with more than 250,000km showing?

The Toyota LandCruiser is one of those vehicles that defies conventional wisdom by being super long-lived. It kind of depends on which model LandCruiser you’re talking about, but if it’s a diesel-engined version, there’s every chance that it still has lots of life left in it at 320,000km.

That presumes, of course, that it has been serviced correctly and has not been used to drag an excavator on a trailer at 110km/h every day of its life. Any vehicle with this many kilometres needs a very careful pre-purchase inspection but, being a LandCruiser, the cost of this inspection is warranted where it may not be on many other makes and models.
