2008 Toyota HI-ACE 2.5L Diesel · CP08 AFY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 12 December 2025 at 163,335 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes over the last three years, suggesting the vehicle is being maintained to a standard that meets minimum legal requirements. The mileage is typical for an 18 year old commercial vehicle, averaging roughly 9,074 miles per year. The distance covered between the December 2023 test at 158,272 miles and the December 2025 test at 163,335 miles shows a steady usage pattern of approximately 2,500 miles per annum over the last two years. This relatively low recent usage may indicate the vehicle is now used for shorter trips or lighter duties. The record shows two instances where the vehicle failed shortly before passing, specifically in November 2023 and December 2024. While the DVSA record does not specify the reasons for these failures, the rapid turnaround to a pass suggests the owner addresses flagged defects promptly. There are no recurring mentions of structural corrosion, suspension failure, or brake deterioration in the available data. A buyer should focus a physical inspection on common age related wear for this model. Check the chassis and sills for surface rust or structural corrosion, as these are often the primary failure points for older Hi-Ace vans. Inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for perishing, and check the brake discs for pitting if the vehicle has spent significant time stationary.
