2010 Toyota Hilux 3.0L Diesel · BF10 UES

The vehicle maintains a functional roadworthiness status, but the maintenance history reveals a worsening trend regarding structural integrity. While the most recent test in April 2025 at 118,246 miles passed, it followed a failure just five days prior due to critical structural defects. The transition of the nearside rear suspension mounting from merely corroded to excessively corroded with significantly reduced structural strength between March and April 2025 indicates that the chassis is experiencing advanced oxidation that is now reaching a stage of rapid deterioration. At 118,246 miles over 16 years, the Hilux shows a consistent usage pattern of approximately 7,400 miles per year. This mileage is typical for a work vehicle of this age, and the data shows a steady accumulation of roughly 5,000 miles between the March 2024 and March 2025 tests. There is no evidence of long periods of standing or erratic mileage spikes, though the consistent use suggests the vehicle is used regularly which has likely contributed to the wear on the braking and suspension components noted in the record. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the chassis and suspension points, specifically targeting the nearside and offside rear suspension mountings. The recurring reports of corrosion in these areas suggest that the structural integrity of the frame is at risk and may soon require significant welding repairs. Additionally, the tester flagged the offside rear service brake as binding in both 2023 and 2025, indicating a persistent caliper caliper or slide pin issue that requires professional attention. The corrosion on the front coil springs, also noted in the 2025 test, should be checked for deep pitting or cracks that could lead to sudden component failure.
