2016 Toyota Hilux 3.0L Diesel · AP16 UEL

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status following a successful MOT test on 20 September 2025 with no defects recorded. However, the maintenance trend shows a pattern of immediate failure followed by rapid re-testing. In both 2024 and 2025, the vehicle failed the initial inspection in September but passed a subsequent test within five days. This sequence suggests that specific faults are identified and rectified only when a formal test occurs, rather than being addressed through proactive preventative maintenance between annual intervals. At 83,455 miles, the 2016 Toyota Hilux has averaged approximately 8,346 miles per year. This usage level is consistent with typical expectations for a vehicle of this age. The records show a consistent annual testing schedule with tests performed in September 2023, 2024, and 2025. The lack of significant gaps in the testing history indicates the vehicle is used regularly, though the data does not provide specific mileage increments to track the exact accumulation between these annual dates. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the components that likely triggered the recent failures, as the provided record does not detail the specific reasons for the declines. Given the nature of Hilux, focus should be placed on the structural integrity of the chassis and underbody for corrosion. Inspect the suspension bushes, coil springs for signs of excessive wear and check brake calipers for binding issues to ensure the repairs made prior to the 2024 and 2025 passes were effective. Buying score: 68 Risk level: Low.
