2008 Toyota HI-ACE 2.5L Diesel · CV58 UBA

The 2008 Toyota Hi-Ace presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 4 October 2025 at 207,104 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken five-year clean MOT run. The vehicle shows no recurring advisories or failures across the available history, indicating consistent statutory compliance rather than deferred repairs. Annual mileage sits at a typical level for an 18-year-old van. Records show 189,790 miles in September 2021, rising to 197,461 by September 2022, 200,574 by October 2023, 204,188 by October 2024, and 207,104 by October 2025. That equates to roughly 3,500 to 8,000 miles per year in this window, well below the lifetime average of 11,506. The sparse but clean record gives no sign of rapid accumulation or standing neglect, though only five years of data exists. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and corrosion points beneath the chassis and sills, as the MOT history records no advisories but does not confirm absence of early rust on a vehicle of this age. Suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs warrant hands-on checks for fatigue not yet flagged by testers. Given the clean test sheet, previous owners appear to have kept the Hi-Ace to minimum legal standards without obvious skipped consumables. The lack of any tyre, wiper, or emission faults suggests basic upkeep was maintained. Verify service history independently before purchase.
