2018 Toyota Hilux 2.4L Diesel · GU18 HXM

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on January 20 2026 at 88,752 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the owner consistently rectifies identified faults immediately following failures. While the January 2026 test flagged an inoperative nearside rear stop lamp and a perished offside front anti-roll bar linkage ball joint dust cover, these were addressed to achieve a clean pass just twenty-four hours later. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eight-year-old commercial vehicle, averaging approximately 11,000 miles per year. Records show a steady progression of use, with 13,455 miles covered between January 2024 and 2025, and another 9,449 miles between early 2025 and early 2026. This regular interval suggests the vehicle is used consistently rather than sitting for long periods, which is generally beneficial for maintaining the integrity of rubber components and the braking system. A buyer should physically inspect the front suspension, specifically checking the anti-roll bar linkages and bushings for signs of wear or play, as the failure in early 2026 indicates these components are beginning to degrade. The handbrake mechanism also warrants attention; the January 2024 failure for insufficient reserve travel suggests the cables or shoes require adjustment or replacement due to thinning. Given the Hilux's nature as a work, a thorough check of the chassis for structural corrosion remains essential, although the MOT history has not yet flagged any structural integrity issues.
