1995 Toyota Hilux 3.0L Diesel · M434 EAH

The 1995 TOYOTA HILUX passed its most recent MOT test on 2024-01-22 with 225,445 miles, indicating a stable maintenance trend. The vehicle has consistently passed its MOTs with no defects recorded in the last three tests, suggesting that the current owner has prioritised maintenance and upkeep. The recorded mileage pattern is typical for a vehicle of this age, with approximately 7,272 miles accumulated per year. However, I note that there is a notable gap in the mileage records from 2023-01-25 to 2024-01-22, during which time the vehicle accumulated 13,485 miles. This rapid mileage accumulation may indicate increased usage or a change in driving patterns. On the other hand, the mileage records are otherwise clean, with no significant gaps or rapid accumulation prior to 2023. A buyer should inspect the vehicle's suspension and steering system, given that the 2021-09-23 failed test flagged a problem with the steering. Although this issue was subsequently resolved, it is essential to verify the condition of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and steering components. Additionally, the buyer should examine the brake system, as the 2021-09-23 failed test also flagged a problem with the binding rear brakes. It is crucial to check the brake discs, calipers, and brake pads for signs of wear or damage. Finally, a thorough inspection of the vehicle's structural integrity, including any signs of corrosion, should be conducted to ensure the vehicle's overall roadworthiness.
