2016 TOYOTA HILUX2.4L Diesel

This Toyota Hilux has maintained a consistent MOT pass history with no recorded defects across all five tests, most recently passing on 24 May 2022 at 46,797 miles. The absence of advisories or failures suggests the vehicle has undergone regular servicing aligned with manufacturer intervals, though the last test occurred over three years ago—nearly 10,000 miles beyond the current DVSA recommendation. Without intervening MOTs, there is no evidence of recurring mechanical issues, but the extended period since the last inspection introduces uncertainty over wear items like suspension bushes, brake pads, and fluid conditions. The recorded mileage of 46,797 miles over a decade—roughly 4,680 miles annually—indicates unusually light usage for a commercial vehicle of this age. The gaps between tests are consistent, with no abrupt spikes or prolonged periods of inactivity, which might suggest storage or limited operational use. The lack of advisories or failures in earlier tests further implies that basic maintenance was likely adhered to, though the absence of post-2022 data means no verification of later servicing or wear patterns. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of suspension components—particularly rear bushes and coil springs—due to the vehicle’s age and mileage. Binding brakes or uneven tyre wear would also warrant immediate attention, as would corrosion checks on wheel arches, sills, and underbody, especially if the vehicle has spent time in wet or salted environments. Fluid levels (brakes, power steering, differential) should be verified, as should the condition of the exhaust system for leaks or structural fatigue. The absence of recent MOTs makes these areas critical, as they are not always visible during a basic pre-purchase check.
