2017 Toyota Hilux 2.4L Diesel · DU17 BVT

The vehicle holds a valid MOT certificate until 30 June 2026, following a pass on 30 June 2025 at 102,896 miles. While the chassis and structural integrity remain sound, the maintenance trend regarding consumables is deteriorating. The most recent inspection flagged multiple areas of concern, specifically highlighting rear tyre wear and a differential oil leak, marking a shift from the clean records observed in 2023 and 2024. Given the current date, the next test is due imminently. Mileage accumulation is consistent and typical for a commercial vehicle of this age. Between March 2021 and June 2025, the odometer increased from 61,226 miles to 102,896 miles, averaging approximately 11,400 miles annually. There are no significant gaps or suspicious mileage fluctuations in the history, suggesting the Hilux has seen regular, sustained use rather than periods of prolonged storage. Tyre maintenance appears to be the primary area of neglect. The tester recorded an offside front tyre worn close to the legal limit in February 2022, and the June 2025 test now shows both rear tyres suffering identical wear issues. This pattern suggests the owner may be rotating tyres infrequently or delaying replacement until the last moment. The rear differential pinion seal was noted as leaking oil. Although not deemed excessive, this requires immediate physical inspection to ensure the leak has not worsened or contaminated the braking components.
