2007 Toyota Hilux 3.0L Diesel · DC02 TLC

The Toyota Hilux presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 4 September 2025 at 183,904 miles, with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable, though the history reveals a recurring pattern of initial failures followed by quick retests with no faults listed. This suggests administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than unresolved mechanical faults, as both failures on 28 August 2025 and 30 August 2023 were logged with zero defects. The recorded mileage of 183,904 against a 2007 build gives an average of roughly 9,679 miles per year, which is typical for a 19-year-old working vehicle. Annual increments are consistent: 166,324 miles in September 2023, 175,992 in September 2024, and 183,904 by September 2025, showing steady use of around 8,500 to 9,000 miles annually with no standing periods or sudden accumulation. The clean advisory columns across all five entries indicate no flagged wear on tyres, brakes, suspension bushes, or corrosion during those tests. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion, as the Hilux chassis is prone to rust at this age and the MOT record shows no advisories only because testers logged none. The twin failures with no defects recorded imply the vehicle may have failed on documentation or minor non-mechanical grounds, yet the absence of any noted brake disc wear, exhaust emissions excess, or binding calipers is a positive signal of basic upkeep. Given the 183,904-mile count, expect consumable replacement on coil springs and drivetrain seals soon regardless of the clean test sheet. Prior to purchase, verify the actual reason for the two zero-defect failures with the testing stations and confirm the chassis numbers match. The record implies a previous owner who kept the truck in passable condition but did not volunteer extra mechanical detail beyond the mandatory test.
