2004 Toyota Hiace 300 SE LWB 88 BHP 2.5L Diesel · FNZ 8659

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 2026-04-02 at 159,344 miles, with no defects recorded. However, the MOT history shows inconsistent results, including a failure on 2026-03-30 and another on 2024-11-27, both without recorded defects. This pattern suggests potential issues with compliance or procedural errors rather than mechanical failures. The lack of specific defect details limits definitive conclusions, but the recent pass indicates the vehicle met roadworthiness standards at that time. The mileage of 159,344 miles aligns with an average annual usage of 7,243 miles over 22 years, reflecting typical wear for the model. Gaps between tests vary, with the longest interval spanning 13 months between 2025-03-11 and 2026-04-02. While no significant mileage spikes are evident, the irregular testing frequency may obscure long-term trends in component degradation. The absence of defect records in passed tests implies no critical issues were identified during those inspections. A buyer should conduct a thorough inspection of the suspension system, including bushes and coil springs, given the vehicle’s age and mileage. Brake components, such as calipers and discs, warrant scrutiny for corrosion or uneven wear, as these are common in older vehicles. Structural integrity should also be verified, particularly around the chassis and body seams, to rule out hidden rust or damage. The MOT history provides limited insight into these areas, necessitating a physical assessment to confirm the vehicle’s condition.
