2016 TOYOTA HILUX2.4L DIESEL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift from mechanical failure to developing leaks. The most recent test in March 2026 at 109,636 miles identified a rear oil leak from the axle input seal. While the tester noted the leak was not excessive, it marks the beginning of a degradation trend that requires monitoring. This follows a clean record in 2025 and 2023, suggesting the vehicle went through a period of mechanical stability. The mileage pattern is consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 11,000 miles per annum. Between May 2023 and March 2026, the vehicle covered 22,214 miles, indicating regular use rather than long periods of standing. The intervals between tests are standard, with the vehicle accumulating roughly 8,000 miles between the last three inspections. This consistent usage suggests the drivetrain and suspension components are subjected to predictable wear cycles for a Toyota Hilux of this age. A buyer must pay close attention to the rear suspension assembly following the failure in May 2023 at 87,422 miles. The fractured nearside rear leaf spring and leaking shock absorber indicated significant stress on the rear-end at that time. You should physically verify that the replacement parts were fitted correctly and currently show no signs of premature fatigue or secondary damage. The axle input seal leak noted in the 2026 test also warrants a close inspection to ensure the leak is not accelerating, which could eventually lead to differential failure if left unaddressed.
