Our Verdict
A strong recommendation for buyers seeking a low-mileage, modern workhorse. While there are minor recurring electrical and brake adjustments, the overall vehicle health is excellent.
Focus your attention on the service history to ensure the 2.4L diesel engine has been maintained according to Toyota's intervals, particularly regarding oil changes. Given the low annual mileage, check for any signs of underuse, such as tyre flat-spots or battery health, as this vehicle has averaged fewer than 5,000 miles per year.
Negotiate based on the recurring need for parking brake adjustments seen in the MOT history. While these are minor fixes, ensuring the braking system is fully serviced now will prevent future MOT headaches.
The 2393cc diesel engine provides the necessary torque for hauling but will sit in a higher tax bracket typical for pickups. Insurance costs are generally moderate for the Hilux, though this varies by driver profile and usage (commercial vs. private).
Maintenance costs for Toyota pickups are typically predictable, though parts can be premium. Between fuel, tax, insurance, and routine servicing, you should budget for a steady annual outlay.
Pay close attention to the parking brake. The MOT history shows a 'just met' efficiency result in 2025 and a failure for 'excessive movement' in February 2026; ensure the lever feel is firm and the hold is secure.
Check the external lighting, specifically the rear fog lamps, as these have failed twice (2024 and 2026). Additionally, inspect the windscreen wipers for streaks or degradation, referencing the 2024 failure for ineffective clearing.
This 2021 Grey Toyota Hilux is in impressive condition with very low mileage of 24,142 miles as of February 2026. The MOT history shows a consistent pattern of passing, with only minor failures related to lighting and wipers. It represents a high-value proposition for those needing a reliable 2.4L diesel pickup with minimal wear.
The Toyota Hilux is globally renowned for its robustness and longevity, though specific aggregate data for this exact variant is not provided here.

Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2021 model year cars.
- DPF and EGR FoulingModerate
The 2.4 and 2.8 D-4D engines can suffer soot buildup in the DPF and EGR system if the truck has spent too much time idling, towing at low speed or doing only short trips.
- Rear Leaf Spring and Suspension WearModerate
Hard commercial use, constant towing and rough ground can wear rear leaf springs, bushes and associated suspension components earlier than many private buyers expect.
- Clutch Wear on Towing and Work TrucksModerate
Hilux pickups used for frequent towing, reversing trailers or site work can wear the clutch much faster than their dependable reputation suggests.
