Our Verdict
A solid purchase option for those seeking a low-mileage Hilux. The vehicle shows a consistent pattern of passing MOT tests with relatively few recorded defects.
When inspecting this 2.5L diesel Hilux, focus on verifying the service history to complement the MOT records. While the MOT history is relatively clean, the two recorded failures suggest that certain components require regular attention.
Negotiate based on the most recent MOT history and ensure any issues identified during previous failures have been addressed with receipts. Given the vehicle's age and diesel engine, check for any signs of fluid leaks or excessive exhaust smoke during a test drive.
Running costs for this 2494cc diesel Hilux will be influenced by its utility status. Expect moderate fuel economy typical of a mid-sized pickup, though actual figures will depend heavily on load and terrain.
Tax and insurance groups for a 2016 Hilux vary, so obtaining a specific quote is essential. Maintenance costs should be planned around common wear items like brakes and suspension, especially given the model's aggregate failure trends.
Based on aggregate data for this model, you should pay close attention to the headlamps, brake pipes, and ball joints, as these are common failure points across the Hilux range.
Specifically for this vehicle, review the details of the failures recorded at 55,141 miles and 65,530 miles to understand what required repair. Even if the specific defect wasn't listed in the summary, check the condition of the underside and suspension components for signs of wear.
This 2016 Toyota Hilux, finished in black, has covered 65,530 miles since its first registration in March 2016. This mileage is notably lower than the model average of 8,896 miles per year. The MOT history shows a series of passes, though it has experienced two recorded failures in 2024 and 2026.
