2006 Toyota HI-ACE 2.5L Diesel · CV06 KLU

The Toyota Hi-Ace presents a currently roadworthy status following the May 2025 test at 254,055 miles, where the vehicle passed with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable across the three years of available history, with no advisories or mechanical faults raised at any stage. Records show a failed test on 17 May 2025 and again on 26 March 2024, both at identical mileages to the subsequent passes on the same or following working day, yet the DVSA entry lists no defects for either failure, indicating administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than a mechanical defect. The odometer climbed from 224,625 miles at the April 2023 pass to 238,601 miles by March 2024, then to 254,055 miles by May 2025. That equates to roughly 14,000 miles per year, slightly above the 12,700-mile annual average for a 20-year-old van. The two-year span covered by the record is sparse, with only three pass events and two same-mileage failures, so the clean sheets give little insight into wear patterns on a high-mileage commercial vehicle. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and corrosion on the chassis and sills, as the MOT record omits any advisory on these despite the age and mileage. The suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs will have absorbed heavy use across 254,000 miles and warrant hands-on checks for fatigue or binding calipers. The twin 2024 and 2025 failures with zero recorded defects suggest the testing documentation is unreliable, so treat the clean passes with caution until a current independent examination confirms the exhaust emissions and underside condition.
