- ✓Check what kind of life it has had: a tidy body can still hide repeated towing, site work or long periods of idling.
- ✓Diesel Hilux models need regular longer runs to keep the DPF and EGR system healthy, so be cautious of short-trip-only trucks.
- ✓Inspect the chassis, rear springs, tow bar and load bed carefully for corrosion, distortion or signs it has carried more weight than the seller admits.
