2009 Toyota HI-ACE 2.5L Diesel · FP09 VOA

The 2009 Toyota Hi-Ace presents a stable roadworthiness trend. The most recent test on 1 June 2022 at 120,551 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded. Prior to that, the 25 June 2021 test at 94,930 miles also passed cleanly. The vehicle shows no worsening faults, advisories, or repeated failures across the supplied history. Annual mileage sits at roughly 7,091 miles per year against the 17-year age, which is typical light-to-moderate use for a commercial van. The records show a 25,621-mile accumulation between June 2021 and June 2022, then no further entries for four years. That four-year gap means the current MOT expired in June 2023; the van has likely stood unused or been off-road since. Sparse but clean history suggests basic upkeep was adequate when tested, though the absence of recent data limits confidence. A buyer must commission a fresh MOT and physical inspection before purchase. Standing for multiple years risks perished rubber components, seized brake calipers, flat-spotted tyres, and structural corrosion on chassis rails and sills. The Hi-Ace's rear leaf springs and front suspension bushes warrant close visual checks for cracking or fatigue. Given the clean 2021 and 2022 passes, no recurring mechanical faults emerge from the record itself. The principal risk is deterioration from prolonged disuse rather than documented wear. Verify brake disc condition, exhaust integrity, and underbody rust during any pre-sale assessment.
