Toyota Crown MOT reliability
There were not enough MOT tests of Toyota Crowns 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 Crown engine sizes and fuel types
Of the 359 Toyota Crowns licensed in the UK at the end of 2025, 39.6% have an engine of 2,401cc to 2,500cc, and 13.9% have an engine of 3,401cc to 3,500cc. The share with an engine of 901cc to 1,000cc has fallen from 32.2% in 2018 to 9.2%. Hybrids made up 2.6% of those licensed in 2018 and 12.3% in 2025.

Toyota Crown safety recalls
We found no recalls for the Toyota Crown in DVSA’s records since 1992. That does not mean none apply: DVSA sometimes records a recall under a range or chassis name we cannot match to a model. Check a specific car on GOV.UK’s vehicle recall check.
A recall applies to cars built on particular dates or with particular VINs, not to every Toyota Crown. 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.

- Licensed counts are vehicles with a current tax or exemption at the end of each year (or the latest quarter). SORN counts are shown separately.
- First registrations count vehicles registered in Great Britain for the first time, including used imports.
- Models are grouped by DVLA’s generic model name, so every generation and trim counts together.
