2018 Toyota Hilux 2.4L Diesel · JA12 BAA

The 2018 Toyota Hilux presents a clean roadworthiness status with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 4 November 2025 at 47,402 miles passed with no defects recorded, following a prior pass on 5 September 2025 at 46,627 miles. Across all five MOT entries from 2022 to 2025, the vehicle recorded zero advisories or failures, indicating consistent mechanical condition under official inspection. The mileage pattern reflects light use for an eight-year-old vehicle. Recorded distance rose from 12,101 miles at the 1 September 2022 test to 20,157 miles by 8 September 2023, then jumped to 33,387 miles on 30 August 2024. The final two tests show 46,627 miles in September 2025 and 47,402 miles two months later, a total of roughly 5,925 miles per year. The clean record across this low-mileage span suggests the previous keeper avoided heavy duty cycles, though long static periods are possible given the annual increments. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity and corrosion points beneath the chassis, as the Hilux ladder frame can trap moisture without MOT-flagged rust appearing early. Suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs warrant physical checks despite no tester advisories, since low annual mileage can mask perished rubber or lightly scored discs from standing. Verify the 775-mile gap between the September and November 2025 tests reflects genuine short use rather than odometer irregularity. Confirm tyre sidewall condition and brake caliper freedom, as these consumables escape MOT capture when within limits yet degrade on idle vehicles.
