2021 Toyota Hilux Active D-4D 4WD S/C 2.4L Diesel · FH21 OWA

The Toyota Hilux presents as roadworthy following a pass at the 3 July 2025 test with 23,246 miles recorded and no defects listed. The maintenance trend reads as stable across the available history, with the only blemish being a failure on 1 July 2025 at 23,245 miles that the DVSA record shows with no defects recorded, suggesting an administrative or presentational rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Two subsequent clean tests confirm the vehicle has not carried recurring advisories or structural concerns into 2026. Mileage sits low for a five-year-old 4x4, totalling 23,246 miles or circa 4,649 miles per year. The jump from 17,418 miles at the 2 July 2024 test to 23,245 miles by 1 July 2025 equals roughly 5,827 miles in twelve months, a modest rise that tracks the long-term average. The sparse record, with just three entries and zero advisories, gives little basis to judge wear on consumables but implies light use, possibly with long standing periods given the low annual figure. A buyer should still verify in person what the MOT cannot show. Low mileage paired with a 4WD driveline means transmission oils, transfer box, and differential seals may have degraded through inactivity rather than use. The July 2025 failure with no logged defect warrants a check of the test centre paperwork to confirm it was not a concealed brake or emission issue. Inspect suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs for corrosion or binding, as the Hilux chassis sees rot where moisture gathers. Confirm tyre sidewalls and tread are not perished from standing. The clean record is reassuring, but physical inspection remains essential on a low-use commercial 4x4.
