2021 Toyota Hilux Icon D-4D 4WD DCB 2.4L Diesel · FL21 LBZ

The Toyota Hilux presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 22 April 2025 at 43,443 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior test on 16 April 2024 at 33,729 miles also passed clean. Two consecutive annual examinations with zero advisories indicates the previous keeper maintained the vehicle to a satisfactory standard with no emerging mechanical or structural concerns. The recorded mileage shows modest annual use for a five-year-old 4x4. Between April 2024 and April 2025 the Hilux covered 9,714 miles, a figure consistent with the circa 8,700 miles per year average across its life. The DVSA history contains only these two entries, so no long dormant periods or abrupt accumulation are evident, and the clean sheets suggest the pickup was not subjected to severe commercial abuse between tests. A buyer should still carry out a physical inspection despite the unblemished record. Four-wheel-drive Hilux models are prone to chassis corrosion and suspension bush degradation, particularly on the rear leaf springs and front wishbone mounts, none of which the tester flagged but which warrant visual checks underneath. Verify the brake discs and calipers for binding after standing, and confirm the 4WD transfer box and prop shaft joints show no oil weep. Given the low defect history, no recurring fault pattern exists to direct further diagnostic action. The prudent step remains an independent underside examination before purchase, as MOT cleanliness on a younger vehicle does not certify absence of early wear on drivetrain seals or structural coatings.
