2016 Toyota Hilux 2.4L Diesel · HJ66 OJP

A consistent record of roadworthiness defines this vehicle, with six consecutive passes and no recorded failures since 2019. The most recent test on 26 November 2025 resulted in a pass, though it continues a recurring pattern of advisories related to tyre wear. Aside from these consumable items, the history is notably devoid of structural defects, corrosion, or mechanical failures. The recorded mileage of 81,472 miles represents an average annual accumulation of approximately 8,147 miles over its ten-year lifespan. This usage profile is typical for the vehicle's age, suggesting a balanced application of the drivetrain and chassis. Such mileage levels generally mean that while primary mechanical components have seen regular use, they have not been subjected to the extreme wear associated with high-mileage commercial utility work. Attention should be directed toward the front axle alignment, as MOT records from 2019, 2023, and 2025 consistently highlight tyre wear on the edges, specifically affecting the nearside front. This recurring pattern suggests a potential tracking issue or worn suspension components that may be causing uneven tread wear. During a test drive, the vehicle should be monitored for any steering pull or instability when travelling at cruising speeds. The braking system has also been flagged for thin front pads in 2019 and 2023. While the most recent test did not mention brakes, a physical inspection of the remaining pad thickness is advisable. Listen for any grinding noises during braking and feel for pedal judder, which would indicate whether the discs have been affected by the previously noted pad wear.
