2017 Toyota Hilux 2.4L Diesel · CV17 FHS

The most recent MOT for the 2017 Toyota Hilux was recorded on 2021-11-11, over five years ago. At 93,602 miles, the vehicle is 9 years old, with an average annual mileage of 10,400 miles, which aligns with typical usage for its age. However, the lack of recent MOT data raises concerns about potential unaddressed issues since 2021. Recurring tyre wear is a significant pattern, with all three rear tyres and one front tyre noted as worn close to the legal limit in multiple MOTs. This suggests either consistent neglect in tyre maintenance or heavy usage that accelerates wear. The 2021 failed MOT also highlighted a suspension arm ball joint dust cover failure, brake lever abnormalities, and an inoperative registration plate lamp, indicating potential safety risks in critical systems. The trend shows some stability in tyre-related issues, but the 2021 failed MOT introduced more severe concerns, including suspension and braking defects, which were absent in earlier records. While the 2021 passed MOT later that same day only listed tyre issues, this may reflect temporary fixes rather than long-term resolution. The 2020 failed MOT included a parking brake efficiency issue, further pointing to ongoing mechanical vulnerabilities. Mileage of 93,602 miles over nine years suggests average usage, with no clear evidence of excessive wear or under-use.
