2014 Toyota Hilux 3.0L Diesel · AM04 TEC

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a history of consistent annual testing and reactive intervention. The most recent test on 12 December 2025 at 95,239 miles resulted in a pass following a failure just one day prior. That failure was limited to lighting defects, specifically the front position lamps and fog lamps, which were promptly rectified. This pattern suggests the owner is responsive to immediate MOT non-compliance issues rather than neglecting minor electrical faults. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent for a twelve-year-old Hilux, averaging approximately 8,000 miles per year. Between December 2022 and December 2025, the vehicle covered 15,597 miles, maintaining a steady usage pattern without periods of neglect or sudden spikes in mileage. The lack of recorded defects during the 2022 and 2023 tests indicates that the vehicle has likely been used for lighter duties rather than intensive heavy-duty commercial transit, which typically preserves the integrity of the drivetrain and suspension components. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the rear axle assembly given the December 2024 advisory at 91,139 miles regarding the nearside rear tyre being worn on the outer edge. This specific wear pattern often indicates alignment issues or worn suspension bushes that require verification. While the MOT record shows no structural corrosion or mechanical failures, the age of the vehicle necessitates a thorough check of the chassis for rust and the leaf spring spring mounting points, as these are common points of failure on this model that may not manifest during a standard MOT test.
