2001 Toyota Hilux 2.4L Diesel · KR51 AGX

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the maintenance trend indicates a reactive approach to repairs rather than preventative care. The most recent test in February 2026 at 189,453 miles passed despite advisories for insecure nearside front lighting and front tyres reaching the legal tread limit. While the vehicle consistently passes tests, the recurring nature of tyre wear issues across the last three years suggests that the owner only addresses consumable items when they become an MOT failure or reach the point of exhaustion. The mileage data reveals an unusual flatline over the last three years. Between March 2023 and February 2026, the vehicle covered only five recorded miles, moving from 189,448 to 189,453. This suggests the Hilux has been stationary for long periods or is used extremely infrequently. While the low annual mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, long periods of standing on a 25-year-old commercial vehicle increase the risk of rubber degradation, seized brake calipers, and fluid internal corrosion. A buyer must physically inspect the front suspension and alignment geometry, as the consistent reports of edge wear on both front tyres in 2023, 2024, 2025, and 2026 indicate a persistent misalignment or worn suspension joints. The offside rear leaf spring bush advisory from March 2024 requires a close look to ensure the anchor pin wear has not progressed to structural cracking. Given the age of the vehicle and the likely inactivity, a thorough check for structural rust on the chassis members and বলতে is essential, as these are the primary failure points for this era of Toyota that are not always captured in minor advisories.
