2006 Toyota Hilux 2.5L Diesel · FN56 WXR

The 2006 Toyota Hilux presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 4 October 2025 at 138,838 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the three prior annual tests from 2022 to 2024 also passed cleanly. The only blemish is a failed test on 23 September 2023 at 134,828 miles that the DVSA logged with no defects recorded, immediately followed by a pass on the same day at the same mileage, indicating an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Annual mileage sits at roughly 6,942 miles, typical for a 20-year-old vehicle of this type. The records show steady, low accumulation: 132,156 miles in September 2022, 134,828 in September 2023, 137,284 in October 2024, and 138,838 in October 2025. The 1,554-mile gain between 2023 and 2024 and the 1,554-mile gain to 2025 confirm light use with no rapid wear cycles or unexplained gaps. The clean advisory columns across all five entries suggest the previous keeper kept on top of consumables and avoided presenting the truck with outstanding minor defects. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural corrosion on chassis members and suspension mounting points, as the Hilux of this era is prone to underbody rust that an MOT pass without advisories does not rule out. The tester recorded no worn suspension bushes, leaking shocks, or binding calipers, but at 138,838 miles the front brake discs, coil springs, and exhaust emissions system warrant a hands-on check for fatigue. The same-day fail and pass in September 2023 leaves no recurring fault pattern, so the mechanical risk profile stays low provided the bodywork has not degraded outside the test regime.
