2021 Toyota Hilux Active D-4D 4WD ECB 2.4L Diesel · DS21 GKU

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-05-07 at 34,881 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating a stable roadworthiness status. However, the 2024-05-03 test shows a failure at 21,222 miles with no defects noted, suggesting a potential unresolved issue that may have been rectified before the subsequent pass. The absence of recurring mechanical faults in the latest test implies no immediate risks, but the prior failure warrants scrutiny to confirm whether underlying concerns were addressed. The mileage of 34,881 miles over five years aligns with an average annual usage of 6,976 miles, reflecting typical wear for the model. The 2024-05-03 test at 21,222 miles occurred 12 months after the vehicle’s initial registration, with no intervening MOT records, creating a gap in maintenance documentation. The subsequent 13-month interval between 2024 and 2025 saw a significant mileage increase of 13,659 miles, which could indicate heavier usage or inconsistent servicing. This pattern suggests the vehicle may have experienced periods of reduced attention, though no defects were recorded in the latest assessment. A buyer should inspect the suspension components, particularly suspension bushes and coil springs, given the vehicle’s off-road capabilities and potential exposure to rough terrain. The brake system, including discs and calipers, should be checked for wear, as the 2024 failure may have related to braking performance. Corrosion, especially in the exhaust system or underbody, warrants scrutiny due to the vehicle’s age and typical usage. While the MOT history shows no critical issues, the 2024 failure and sparse defect records highlight the need for a thorough pre-purchase inspection of structural and mechanical elements.
