2013 Toyota Hilux 2.5L Diesel · FM62 DZT

The Toyota Hilux presents a currently roadworthy status following its most recent MOT test on 31 October 2025 at 158,555 miles, where the tester recorded no defects. The maintenance trend is stable, with the vehicle passing its last examination cleanly and showing no outstanding advisories across the supplied history. Prior to this, the truck passed again on 28 February 2024 at 144,378 miles with no defects noted. The recorded mileage of 158,555 at the 2025 test equates to roughly 12,197 miles per year across its 13-year life, which is high for a 2013 model and implies consistent hard use typical of a working pickup. The gap between the February 2024 pass at 144,378 miles and the October 2025 pass at 158,555 shows around 14,000 miles covered in twenty months, a reasonable rate. The records are sparse and clean, with only two failed tests logged on 27 February 2024 at 144,368 miles and 8 February 2023 at 130,252 miles, both showing no defects recorded, indicating the failures were administrative or presentational rather than mechanical. A buyer should still inspect structural integrity and corrosion on the chassis and underbody, as Hilux models of this age commonly suffer from rust on crossmembers and suspension mounts despite a clean MOT sheet. The absence of advisories on brake discs, suspension bushes, or exhaust emissions across all tests suggests no flagged wear, yet the high annual mileage means consumable items such as tyres, coil springs, and binding calipers warrant a physical check for fatigue. Given the two consecutive-day fail-then-pass patterns in 2023 and 2024 with zero defects, previous owners likely addressed minor paperwork or retest timing rather than neglected upkeep. The vehicle's history implies competent if high-mileage care, but an in-person examination of drivetrain components and steering joints remains prudent before purchase.
