2004 Toyota Hilux 2.5L Diesel · KD54 AAJ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on a history of clean passes over the last five years. The most recent inspection conducted in August 2022 at 147,288 miles resulted in no recorded defects or advisories. This streak of perfect tests suggests that the previous owners maintained a high standard of upkeep and avoided the common mechanical failures or structural degradation typically seen in vehicles of this age. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 22-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,700 miles per year. Between August 2018 and August 2022, the truck covered 33,794 miles, showing a steady usage rate without significant periods of neglect or excessive wear. The gap of 6,095 miles recorded between the 2021 and 2022 tests indicates regular operational use patterns. However, since the last recorded MOT took place nearly four years ago, the current roadworthiness of the vehicle cannot be verified and the certificate is expired as of the current date. Despite the clean historical record, a physical inspection must focus on the structural integrity of the chassis and load members, as Hilux models from this era are prone to hidden corrosion in the frame rails. The buyer should specifically check the suspension bushes and rubber boots for perished cracking, which can occur over time regardless of low mileage. Given the elapsed time since the last test, a thorough check of the brake lines and fluid condition is also essential to ensure no significant degradation has occurred during the period of recorded inactivity.
