2014 Toyota Hilux 3.0L Diesel · RA14 AEG

The Toyota Hilux presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 12 December 2025 at 111,003 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The December 2025 pass came two days after a failure on 9 December at 111,001 miles, yet the tester logged no defects on either entry, indicating the earlier failure was administrative rather than mechanical. A near-identical pattern occurred in February 2025, where a failure on 6 February at 97,644 miles was followed by a pass on 7 February at 97,645 miles, again with no defects recorded. These repeated no-defect failures suggest the vehicle was presented for test prematurely or with paperwork issues, not because of worn components. The mileage progression shows typical annual use for a 2014 vehicle. The Hilux covered 82,119 miles at its February 2024 pass, rose to 97,645 miles by February 2025, and reached 111,003 miles by December 2025. That equates to roughly 14,500 miles between February and December 2025, above the long-term average of 9,250 miles per year, but not extreme for a working pickup. The record is sparse, with only three passes and two anomalous failures logged, and no advisories or defects ever raised across any test. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the Hilux's age and the heavier late-2025 mileage accumulation. The absence of recorded corrosion or structural integrity concerns is reassuring, yet MOT entries with zero advisories at over 110,000 miles are unusual for a twelve-year-old utility vehicle and may reflect superficial test scrutiny. Verify the underside for chassis rust and check the drivetrain for driveshaf wear before purchase.
