2018 Toyota Hilux 2.4L Diesel · WJ68 AAY

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by a consistent history of MOT passes. The most recent test conducted in September 2025 at 102,590 miles resulted in no recorded defects or advisories, indicating that the vehicle met all minimum safety standards at that time. This follows a trend of clean passes where the minor cosmetic issues noted in previous years were addressed or did not escalate mechanically. The mileage pattern reveals a significant acceleration in usage over the last three years. Between August 2021 (36,628 miles) and September 2023 (58,327 miles), the vehicle covered approximately 22,000 miles, averaging roughly 11,000 miles per annum. However, the usage increased sharply between September 2023 and September 2025, covering over 44,000 miles in just two years. This high annual mileage for a Hilux suggests heavy commercial or long-distance use, which typically places greater strain on the drivetrain and suspension components. While the MOT record is currently clean, a buyer must focus on the physical wear associated with high-mileage utility use. Inspection should prioritise the chassis for structural corrosion, particularly around the rear members, as MOT tests only check for significant structural decay. Given the recent spike in mileage, the condition of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers requires close scrutiny for sagging or leaks. Additionally, check the brake discs for thinning and signs of binding calipers, as high-frequency use often accelerates the wear of these consumables.
