2006 Toyota Hiace 2.5L Diesel · DA06 EXO

The overall roadworthiness status is currently passing, but the maintenance trend is not stable; it has demonstrated a clear pattern of worsening condition. The most recent test on 2025-07-03 was passed at 191,293 miles, yet the vehicle has already failed twice on the same roadworthiness test on 2023-07-03 and 2023-07-07, indicating that the structural integrity of the rear sub-frame and brake pipes has deteriorated significantly since the last inspection. The mileage accumulation is notably rapid and inconsistent with typical usage patterns. The vehicle has accumulated approximately 191,293 miles in a single year, which is roughly 9,565 miles per year. This high mileage rate suggests that the owner has not maintained the car properly over the past two years, leading to accelerated wear on critical components such as the brakes, suspension, and drivetrain. The gap between the 2025 and 2023 tests is particularly concerning, as the vehicle has experienced two separate failures in just two years, confirming that the wear is not gradual but rather progressive. Given the recurring faults and the rapid mileage accumulation, the buyer must inspect the vehicle in person to identify specific structural risks. The history reveals that the rear brake pipes and windscreen have been corroded and covered in grease, which poses a serious risk to the vehicle's structural integrity and braking performance. While the suspension and drivetrain components appear to be in decent condition, the extensive corrosion and the fact that the vehicle has failed twice on the same roadworthiness test indicate that the owner has likely skipped basic upkeep, such as changing brake fluids, inspecting suspension bushes, and checking for corrosion in the wheel wells. A thorough physical inspection is required to determine if the risks are minor, such as a loose suspension bush, or if the structural risks are significant, such as a compromised brake disc or a failing rear sub-frame.
