2010 Toyota Hilux 3.0L Diesel · J24 ABT

The Hilux presents a currently roadworthy status following a pass on 29 January 2026 at 126,425 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recent record. The vehicle cleared its latest test with no defects recorded, though the preceding attempt on 20 January 2026 at the same mileage failed with no defects listed, suggesting an administrative or presentation issue at the testing station rather than a mechanical fault. Annual mileage sits at a typical level for a 2010 vehicle, averaging roughly 7,900 miles per year against the 126,425 miles recorded. The gap between 19 January 2024 at 106,084 miles and 28 January 2025 at 113,260 miles shows 7,176 miles covered, then 13,165 miles to the January 2026 tests, a mild acceleration but nothing abnormal. A quirk appears in the January 2024 and January 2026 records where a fail and pass pair occur days apart at near-identical mileages, implying the owner addressed a non-mechanical rejection or retested promptly. The DVSA data flags no advisories or defects across any test, so no recurring wear pattern emerges for suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions. A clean sheet across five years of testing indicates previous owners kept the pickup to a basic pass standard without flagged consumable neglect. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underside rust given the Hilux's age and 16-year exposure to UK road salt. Verify the January 2026 fail-with-no-defects was clerical, and check coil springs, binding calipers, and tyre condition despite the absence of recorded advisories.
