Our Verdict
Highly recommended for those seeking a low-mileage utility vehicle with a pristine MOT record. This Hilux represents a rare, under-used example of the model.
When inspecting this specific Hilux, focus on verifying that the mileage is consistent with the service records, as the data shows a steady progression from 59,290 miles to 83,401 miles over three years. While the MOT history shows no failures, you should check for any signs of corrosion on the undercarriage, as these are common weak points for this model across the UK.
Ensure the full service history is present to confirm that the 2494cc engine has been maintained regularly. Since the vehicle has seen lower-than-average mileage, pay close attention to the condition of rubber components and tyres, which can age even if the car isn't driven frequently.
The 2.5-litre diesel engine is relatively efficient for a pickup, though buyers should expect around 30-35 mpg depending on load. Tax bands and insurance groups will vary based on your personal profile, but the Hilux generally falls into mid-range categories for its class.
Estimated annual running costs are projected between £2,200 and £2,800, covering fuel, basic insurance, and routine maintenance items like oil and filters.
Although the MOT history for this vehicle shows no recorded defects, the aggregate data for this model indicates that ball joints, brake pipes, and headlamps are common failure points. You should manually inspect the brake lines for any signs of corrosion and test the ball joints for any play.
Check the headlamp alignment and functionality, as this is a frequent reason for failure in the Hilux fleet. Given the low mileage, also inspect the clutch for wear, as under-used diesel pickups can sometimes experience premature wear if driven harshly.
This 2016 Toyota Hilux sits at 83,401 miles, which is significantly below the fleet average for a vehicle of this age. Its MOT history is exceptionally clean, passing the last five consecutive tests since 2022 without a single defect. Given the 2.5L diesel engine and low usage, it offers a strong value proposition for both workhorse and leisure use.
The Toyota Hilux is renowned for its durability, with aggregate data showing a high pass rate across tens of thousands of tested vehicles.
