2018 Toyota Hilux 2.4L Diesel · CU68 OAX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a worsening pattern regarding the front braking system. While the most recent test in March 2026 at 97,798 miles passed, the tester flagged front brake discs as worn, pitted, or scored. This follows a similar advisory from the March 2025 test at 86,730 miles where the inner discs were noted, indicating that the previous owner has neglected to replace components despite repeated warnings. The mileage accumulation is consistent and averages approximately 12,200 miles per year, which is high for an eight-year-old commercial vehicle. There is a clear progression of use, with roughly 11,000 miles covered between the March 2025 and 2026 tests, and another 9,500 miles between 2024 and 2025. This high annual use suggests heavy-duty operation, which explains the accelerated wear on mechanical items and the drivetrain components typical of a Hilux. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the front sub-frame due to the corrosion noted in August 2023 at 73,047 miles. While it was not deemed seriously weakened at that time, rust on high-mileage utility vehicles often progresses if untreated. Furthermore, the recurring issues with front brake discs and pads across the last three tests suggest the entire front braking assembly is nearing the end of its service life. You should check the calipers for binding and ensure the pitting on the discs has not led to premature wear of the new pads.
