2007 Toyota Hilux 3.0L Diesel · DA07 LLP

The Toyota Hilux presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 5 November 2025 at 209,344 miles, with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across the available history, showing no recurring advisories or escalating mechanical concerns. The vehicle cleared its test one day after a failure on 4 November 2025 at 209,339 miles where the tester logged no defects, indicating an administrative or presentation issue rather than a fault-driven rejection. Recorded mileage rose from 189,722 in the November 2023 failure to 200,506 by November 2024, then to 209,344 by November 2025. That equates to roughly 9,700 to 10,800 miles per year across the final two intervals, sitting just below the 11,018 annual average for a 19-year-old vehicle. The DVSA data shows clean passes in 2023, 2024, and 2025 with no advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions, so the record gives no evidence of neglected consumables or structural decline. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of chassis rails, subframe, and suspension mounts given the Hilux's age and 209k mileage, as salt corrosion and worn coil springs are common on older 4x4s even when MOTs stay clear. The twin 2023 and 2025 fail-with-no-defect entries suggest the truck may have been presented late or with paperwork gaps; verify the V5C and confirm no hidden rectification work sits behind those tests. Given the sparse but clean record, focus the viewing on drivetrain oil leaks, binding calipers, and tyre sidewall cracking. The high but typical mileage means bush wear and exhaust hangers deserve a road test, though the history shows no active warnings from testers.
