1994 TOYOTA HILUX2.4L Diesel

The vehicle last passed its MOT on 23 April 2025 at 51,412 miles. The preceding twelve months show a pattern of failure followed by an immediate retest and pass, with no defects recorded. This indicates a stable maintenance trend, with any issues resolved quickly rather than a progressive deterioration. Mileage accumulation has been minimal: from 50,690 miles in April 2023 to 51,412 miles in April 2025, an increase of just 722 miles over two years, roughly 360 miles per year. The gap between the 2024 failure and its subsequent pass occurred within five days and added 307 miles, highlighting very low usage. The data set is sparse beyond the most recent year, but the low mileage suggests the vehicle has been stored or driven infrequently. Because the MOT history records no defects, the buyer should focus on areas prone to age‑related wear. Inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for corrosion, check the brake discs and calipers for binding or uneven wear, and examine the exhaust for rust. A visual survey of the chassis for structural corrosion is essential, as low mileage does not guarantee a rust‑free condition. Verify service records and oil‑change intervals; the lack of recorded faults may mask neglected routine maintenance. Finally, confirm that the recent retest on 23 April 2025 was a genuine pass and not a provisional approval. Request the MOT certificate details and any advisory notices that may have been issued. The vehicle’s low mileage is encouraging, but a pre‑purchase inspection should cover tyres, wiper blades, and fluid levels to ensure the car is road‑ready.
