2016 Toyota Hilux 2.4L Diesel · DE03 AGE

The Toyota Hilux demonstrates an exceptionally clean MOT record, indicating a stable and well-maintained vehicle. The most recent test conducted on 21 July 2025 at 99,786 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, confirming the vehicle remains in a roadworthy condition. The brief failure recorded on 24 July 2024 at 93,435 miles appears to be a clerical or administrative anomaly, as the vehicle passed the same test on the same day without any recorded defects, suggesting no underlying mechanical failure occurred at that time. Annual mileage accumulation remains consistent, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per year over the last decade. The steady progression from 78,429 miles in July 2022 to the current 99,786 miles indicates regular usage rather than prolonged periods of inactivity. This pattern of consistent annual testing suggests the vehicle has been subjected to routine maintenance cycles, which is preferable for a commercial-grade chassis like the Hilux, as it prevents the degradation often associated with long-term storage. Despite the absence of recorded advisories, a physical inspection should focus on the inherent vulnerabilities of this model. You must verify the condition of the suspension bushes and the integrity of the leaf springs, as these components endure significant stress under typical Hilux usage patterns. Examine the chassis rails and crossmembers for any signs of surface corrosion or underbody sealant application that might mask structural issues. While the MOT history is clean, ensure the drivetrain, specifically the four-wheel-drive engagement and differential seals, remains free of leaks, as these are common wear points not always captured in a standard emissions and safety test.
