Your biggest problem in Europe is the local emissions regulations for instance in London you need to have at least a Euro 4 compliant vehicle, diesels need to be much more strict Euro 6 standard at least. And this is only going to be ratcheted further. Toyota Land Cruiser Toyota Hilux, Lexus LX and GX, Lexus LS. Rav 4 hybrid and the Lexus NX hybrid - my main worry would be the CVH transmission

It’s pretty much always the Hilux or the Land Cruiser speaking globally. Doesn’t mean they’re the most practical or realistic to own but if you want a car that’s designed to last forever with minimal maintenance it’s those two. The Land Cruiser especially is the cream of the crop in that regard.

Large SUV BIFL Request
Hilux are true legends. They are quite prized if you can get your hands on one in the US.

Large SUV BIFL Request
There are many older cars knocking around in South Africa that have been passed down from one generation to the next. Toyota Hilux and Land Cruisers, Nissan 1400, a few VW models and various others that have been going steady for almost 50 years. The LC 70 models are still sold here and are easily BIFL cars.
