Can Toyota Land Cruisers be imported into Australia?

Yes — but only if they are at least 25 years old. Under the Australian 25-Year Import Rule, vehicles manufactured 25 years or more before the current date can be imported without meeting modern ADR standards. That means, as of 2025, Land Cruisers built before 2000 (such as the 70 Series, 80 Series, and early 100 Series) are eligible for import by UniBee Australia.

Which Toyota Land Cruiser models qualify under the 25-year rule?

he following classic models can currently be imported: Land Cruiser 70 / 73 / 75 / 78 / 79 Series (including Troop Carrier and Pickup variants). Land Cruiser 80 Series (VX, VX Limited, GXL). Early Land Cruiser 100 Series (1998–1999 builds) — soon eligible. All must be 25 years or older, verified by build date on the Japanese Export Certificate.

What are the benefits of importing a 25-year-old Land Cruiser from Japan?

Exceptional build quality: Classic Land Cruisers are built to last, with bulletproof drivetrains and minimal electronics. Low mileage and rust-free examples: Japan’s strict Shaken inspection system means vehicles are usually well-maintained. Unique specifications: Many Japanese models include factory turbo-diesel engines, lockers, dual air-conditioning, and rare trims not sold locally.

What engines and drivetrains are available in importable Land Cruisers?

Eligible JDM Land Cruisers often include: 1HZ – 4.2 L diesel, simple and reliable. 1HD-T / 1HD-FT / 1HD-FTE – 4.2 L turbo-diesels (80 and 100 Series). 1PZ / 3F / 1FZ-FE – petrol inline-sixes. These engines are world-renowned for durability and can run hundreds of thousands of kilometres with regular maintenance.

Do imported Land Cruisers meet Australian compliance requirements?

Yes. Under the 25-Year Rule, eligible Land Cruisers are exempt from full RAWS compliance but still require quarantine, safety, and emissions clearance. UniBee Australia handles all compliance documentation, cleaning, and inspection to ensure the vehicle is ready for registration with VicRoads or any state authority.

Are parts and servicing available for imported Land Cruisers in Australia?

Absolutely. Most mechanical parts are shared with locally sold Land Cruisers, including suspension, drivetrain, and engine components. UniBee Australia provides full servicing, reconditioning, and parts sourcing through our Dandenong workshop, including engine rebuilds and off-road upgrades.

Why buy a 25-year-old Land Cruiser instead of a newer SUV?

Classic Land Cruisers are known for unmatched reliability, off-road performance, and mechanical simplicity. Unlike modern SUVs, they have no complex electronics, fully mechanical drivetrains, and are easy to maintain anywhere in Australia — perfect for enthusiasts, campers, and collectors who value authenticity and toughness.

Why are 25-year-old Toyota Land Cruisers hard to find in good condition in Japan?

High-quality 25-year-old Toyota Land Cruisers have become extremely rare in Japan. Most examples have either: Very high mileage from heavy use as work or off-road vehicles, or Been exported years ago to markets like Australia, New Zealand, and Africa, where demand is strong. Because of Japan’s strict Shaken inspection and recycling laws, many older vehicles were dismantled or exported early, leaving few clean examples on the domestic market. Today, only a limited number of well-maintained, low-kilometre Land Cruisers remain, and they command premium auction prices. UniBee Australia works directly with trusted suppliers and auction networks across Japan to locate the best possible 70 and 80 Series models, ensuring genuine condition, verified history, and smooth import compliance.
