How many Toyota 4-RUNNERs are left in Great Britain?
There were 128 Toyota 4-RUNNERs licensed in Great Britain at the end of March 2026, and a further 331 declared off the road (SORN).
That is 92.8% fewer than the peak of 1,784 in 1999.
There were not enough MOT tests of Toyota 4-RUNNERs in 2025 to publish reliable figures: we need at least 1,000 tests of cars aged three and over. Cars have their first MOT at three years old, so newer models appear once they reach that age. How we work out MOT figures.
Toyota 4-RUNNER engine sizes and fuel types

The deployment of the CSA could cause minor injury to a vehicle occupant.
Remedy
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the Airbag Control Unit.

A recall applies to cars built on particular dates or with particular VINs, not to every Toyota 4-RUNNER. The details come from manufacturers through DVSA, which says they may be delayed or
incomplete. To check a specific car, use GOV.UK’s vehicle recall check or ask the manufacturer or a
dealer. How we match recalls to models.
