Overview of the Toyota Land Cruiser ZX
This 2025 Toyota Land Cruiser ZX is a nearly new 300 Series, chassis 3BA-VJA300W, offered at USS Yokohama as lot 30339. It was first registered in September 2025 (Reiwa 7) and shows just 516 km on the odometer, which is approximately 321 miles. The auction grade is 6 with an interior grade of A, and the damage diagram carries no marks at all. It is finished in pearl (colour code 090) over a black interior, with a 3,500 cc twin turbo petrol V6, an automatic gearbox and four wheel drive.
The sheet describes a one owner car with the new car service book and warranty present, a Modellista aero kit, JBL premium sound, rear entertainment and seven seats. For a buyer who wants the flagship Land Cruiser with almost nothing on the clock, this is exactly the sort of car the Japanese domestic market produces and the export market struggles to find.
The Drive Review
The 300 Series replaced the long running 200 Series and moved the Land Cruiser onto Toyota's modern GA-F platform, a lighter and stiffer structure than before while keeping a proper ladder frame beneath. The petrol engine here is the 3.5 litre twin turbo V6 (V35A-FTS), which replaced the old naturally aspirated V8. It produces around 305 kW and 650 Nm, and the torque arrives low in the rev range, so the car pulls a large body along with very little fuss. It is paired with a ten speed automatic that is smooth in town and quick to find the right gear when you ask for more.
On the road the Land Cruiser is calmer and more composed than its size suggests. The steering is light but accurate, body control is far better than the previous generation, and the ZX trim is tuned for comfort and isolation. The photographs show a right hand drive cabin, although the sheet does not mark the steering side. Off road, the full time four wheel drive layout and the Land Cruiser's reputation for hard use remain the main appeal. The difference from a modern luxury SUV is that this one is built to be driven in places where a breakdown matters.
Auction Details
The car runs at USS Yokohama on 20 October 2026 (Japan time) as lot 30339, listed under the Domestic Prime Corner heading on the sheet. The auction start price is ¥8,480,000.

Twelve similar cars sold at Japanese auctions have made between £43,090 and £44,300, typically about £43,992, though that set includes other versions and conditions and is not a promise for this lot.

Factory Features and Equipment
The sheet lists these sales points: one owner, the September 2025 specification change (later type), JBL premium sound, rear entertainment system, Modellista aero kit, panoramic view monitor, power tailgate, black leather seats, heated and cooled seats, and radar cruise control. The points to note add ETC 2.0, roof rails, a TV canceller that allows TV while moving, ITS Connect, a tyre pressure warning system and a note that reads sequential, most likely sequential turn indicators, though the sheet does not spell it out. Automatic air conditioning is marked.
The photographs show a glass roof panel, side steps, large multi spoke alloy wheels, a central display screen and a leather rear bench with a folding armrest. The equipment box on the sheet (sunroof, genuine alloy wheels, power steering, power windows, leather, TV, navigation and airbags) cannot be read with confidence because every label sits inside an identical oval, so none of those items are confirmed from the sheet itself.
Japanese Auction Report Translation
The inspector's report area and damage diagram are blank, so there are no written faults, repairs or warnings. The sheet confirms a one owner car, a new car service book with warranty present, and the owner's manual, warranty booklet and spare key written as 後送, meaning they will be sent on separately later. They are not with the car at the auction. Load capacity, serial number, vehicle usage history, the import car section and the transfer document expiry are all blank. A spare wheel outline is printed on the diagram with no mark against it.
The odometer reads 516 km. The feed rounds this to 1,000 km, but the sheet reading is the one to rely on. Fuel is petrol. Colour change is shown only as an arrow, which means no colour change is written.
Damage Diagram and Body Condition
The vehicle diagram has no markings. There are no scratch, dent, repair, panel replacement, rust or corrosion codes anywhere on the body. The photographs back this up: the pearl paint looks clean and even across the bonnet, doors, tailgate and bumpers, and the Modellista front and rear aero pieces appear intact. Photographs are taken under auction lighting, so small marks can still hide in the glare.
Overall this is collector grade for a modern vehicle: effectively a new car with delivery mileage and no recorded body issues. As ever, inspect in person or through your agent on arrival.
Interior Condition
The interior grade is A. The photographs show clean black leather on the front seats, tidy stitching, a wood effect trim on the centre console, a neat dashboard, and the dual zone climate controls and gear selector undisturbed. The rear bench and folding armrest also look unmarked. The sheet records no smoke, odour, damage or wear, and the 516 km reading fits what we can see.
Japanese Auction Grades
Japanese auction grades run from 1 to 6, and grade 6 is at the top of that scale, reserved for cars in effectively new condition. The interior grade of A is likewise the best letter. Together they describe a car with very little use and no recorded faults.
Model History
The Land Cruiser has been Toyota's flagship go anywhere vehicle since the 1950s, and the 300 Series arrived in 2021 as the J300. It dropped the V8 for the twin turbo V6, adopted the GA-F platform and brought a much more modern cabin and driver assistance suite. The Reiwa 7 (2025) specification change noted on this sheet marks a later production period, which matters for equipment and refinements compared with the earliest cars.
Why This Model Has Become Collectible
Is the Land Cruiser collectible? The 300 Series is not rare in the way a limited run sports car is, but demand has outstripped supply since launch. Japanese domestic orders have run on very long waiting lists, which has pushed the used market hard. The Land Cruiser's global reputation for durability, strong resale and its place as the last of the true large body on frame luxury off roaders all add to the appeal. In my view the best cars will be those with low mileage, one owner and a documented history, as here. No future value can be guaranteed, and this should be bought to use and enjoy rather than as an investment.
What To Look For When Buying This Model
The 300 Series is young, so the buying focus is on correct delivery condition rather than age. Check that the service book stamps match the single owner and the mileage. The V35A-FTS engine and ten speed automatic have had few widespread problems, but any car should be checked for fault codes, particularly on early cars where software updates addressed some drivability matters. Confirm the Modellista parts are original and properly fitted, since aero kits can hide parking damage on larger cars.
On this car, ask for the owner's manual, warranty booklet and spare key to be sent on with the car, as the sheet notes these are following later. Test the rear entertainment, power tailgate, seat cooling, panoramic view monitor and the Japanese navigation and TV canceller before you ship. Also check how your own country treats a Japanese market car, since navigation and radar based features can need local adjustment.
Why Import This Car From Japan
Japanese cars are known for honest descriptions, low use and careful servicing, and a one owner Land Cruiser with 516 km is a good example. Buying direct from the auction gives access to cars that rarely reach the local used market, with an independent grade and sheet to judge by.

Auction Caution
Auction cars are inspected before sale but are still used vehicles, even at 516 km. The auction sheet is an independent condition guide, not a mechanical warranty. This sheet records no faults and a blank damage diagram, but the owner's manual, warranty booklet and spare key are noted as being sent on later, and the equipment box could not be read with confidence. A car of this size and complexity may need servicing or adjustment to local requirements after purchase. Please read the translation above carefully and ask us anything before bidding.
