2000 TOYOTA HIACE2.4L Diesel

The vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT pass on 5 September 2025 at 196,385 miles was achieved with no recorded defects. While the vehicle failed its tests on 4 September 2025 and 5 September 2023, these failures were rectified within 24 hours, suggesting a pattern of immediate corrective action rather than systemic mechanical neglect. The mileage is consistent with the age of the vehicle. It has covered approximately 2,979 miles between the September 2024 test at 193,406 miles and the September 2025 test at 196,385 miles. This steady usage avoids the risks associated with long periods of standing, such as seized brake calipers or perished rubber seals, and indicates the van remains in active service. The absence of advisories across the last three years of testing is unusual for a 26 year old commercial vehicle. There are no recorded mentions of suspension bush wear, coil spring fatigue, or exhaust emissions issues. The record shows no history of structural corrosion or brake disc deterioration, which are typical failure points for this model. A buyer should still perform a physical inspection of the chassis and underbody for surface rust, as MOT testers sometimes overlook minor corrosion that does not yet compromise structural integrity. Checking the condition of the tyres and wiper blades is recommended, as these consumables are often replaced without being formally logged as defects if they remain just above the legal limit.
