2009 Toyota Hilux 2.5L Diesel · DA09 WYJ

The Hilux shows a stable roadworthiness trend with a clean pass recorded on 20 October 2022 at 101,145 miles and no defects listed. The most recent test result indicates the vehicle met statutory requirements at that date, roughly three years and nine months before today's review. No worsening faults or recurring advisories appear across the supplied history. The recorded mileage sits at 101,145 miles for a 2009 model, equating to about 5,950 miles per year and reflecting light use for its age. Between the 22 October 2021 test at 95,364 miles and the October 2022 tests at 101,145 miles, the vehicle covered only 5,781 miles in twelve months. The MOT data is sparse, with just two annual entries and a failed-then-passed sequence on the same day in 2022 showing no logged defects, which suggests the failure may have been administrative rather than mechanical. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural corrosion, suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the vehicle's seventeen-year age and likely periods of standing. Low annual mileage on a Hilux often masks dormant issues such as seized calipers or degraded rubber components that a short MOT test may not expose. Verify the 20 October 2022 failure reason via DVSA records despite the no-defect annotation, and confirm the chassis and underbody integrity before purchase given the sparse history and elapsed time since the last test.
