2007 Toyota Hilux 2.5L Diesel · A4 FLY

The Toyota Hilux presents as roadworthy following the most recent MOT test passed on 15 January 2026 at 176,339 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across the available history. The vehicle cleared every annual examination from January 2023 through to the current pass, showing no recurring advisories or mechanical faults that would indicate worsening condition. Mileage accumulation is consistent with typical use for a 19-year-old vehicle. The record shows 155,262 miles at the January 2023 test, rising to 162,497 by January 2024, 169,414 by January 2025, and 176,339 by January 2026. That equates to roughly 7,000 miles per year across the captured period, below the 9,281 annual average for the vehicle's life. The data is sparse, with only five entries and no advisories, so the clean sheet offers limited insight into component wear beyond confirmation that the tester found nothing reportable. A failed test on 8 January 2026 at 176,279 miles preceded the pass one week later, yet the record lists no defects for either attempt. This suggests an administrative rejection or a minor non-mechanical issue rather than a structural or drivetrain fault. The buyer should still verify the reason for that failure through the full DVLA refusal notice, as the summary omits specifics. Given the age and 176,339 miles, a physical inspection should target chassis corrosion, suspension bushes, and brake disc wear even though the MOT logged no advisories. Hilux frames suffer structural rust in winter-salted regions. Check the rear leaf springs, front ball joints, and caliper operation for binding. Confirm the January 2026 failure cause before purchase.
