2016 TOYOTA HILUX2.4L Diesel

The Toyota Hilux in question demonstrates a stable roadworthiness record with no defects or advisories recorded across its most recent MOT tests. The vehicle passed its most recent inspection on July 7, 2025 , at 109,470 miles , and the preceding test in July 2024 at 96,715 miles also cleared without issue. The only anomaly in the record is a failed test on August 23, 2023 , at 94,250 miles , though no defects were logged—this suggests either an administrative error or a minor oversight that did not affect structural or mechanical safety. The absence of recurring advisories or defects implies the vehicle has been maintained at a basic level, though this does not guarantee hidden wear beyond MOT scope. The mileage progression suggests typical usage for its age, averaging around 10,900 miles per year over the past three years. There is a notable gap between the 2023 failure (August 23) and the subsequent pass (August 29) , where the vehicle accumulated 1,460 miles in just six days—a statistically impossible figure, indicating either a data entry error or a vehicle that remained stationary for an extended period. Beyond this inconsistency, the mileage increases steadily, with 5,755 miles between July 2024 and July 2025, and 6,465 miles between September 2022 and August 2023. This pattern suggests no extreme neglect or aggressive driving, though it does not account for internal wear such as suspension degradation or drivetrain fatigue. Given the lack of recorded defects, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of suspension components , particularly the rear coil springs and bushes , as these are common failure points on this model at this mileage. The brake system —including calipers, pads, and discs—should be checked for uneven wear or binding, especially if the vehicle has experienced rapid mileage spikes. Exhaust emissions were not flagged in any test, but a recent DPF check (if applicable) is advisable, given the diesel engine’s age. Structural integrity, particularly around the floor pans and wheel arches , should be examined for corrosion, as this is a critical failure risk for Hilux models exposed to UK road conditions. The transmission and differential fluids should also be inspected for degradation, as these are not routinely tested in MOTs but can lead to catastrophic failure if neglected.
