2016 Toyota Hilux 2.5L Diesel · FE65 TTV

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, having passed its most recent inspection on February 12 2026 at 130,344 miles with no recorded defects. This indicates that the Toyota is currently meeting the minimum safety and emissions standards. While previous tests showed minor tyre-related issues, the transition to clean records in the last two tests suggests that the current owner is addressing identified faults before they escalate into failures. The mileage data reflects consistent high-intensity usage, averaging approximately 13,000 miles per year over its ten-year life. Between February 2024 and February 2025, the vehicle covered 6,540 miles, followed by another 6,887 miles in the year leading to the 2026 test. This steady accumulation suggests the truck is used regularly for work rather than sitting for long periods. Such high mileage typically places significant stress on the drivetrain and suspension components, which are evidenced by the robust design of the Hilux. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension and wheel alignment given the recurring tyre wear patterns noted in 2022 and 2025. The 2022 test flagged perished rubber and uneven wear on the rear tyres, while the 2025 test identified edge wear on the nearside front, which points toward a tracking issue. These symptoms often indicate worn control arm bushes or incorrect geometry. Given the vehicle's age and mileage, a thorough check of the chassis for structural corrosion, particularly around the leaf spring mounting points, is essential as the MOT record does not detail the integrity of the frame beyond basic failure criteria.
