2010 Toyota Hiace 2.5L Diesel · HW59 JCJ

The 2010 Toyota Hiace demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend, with its most recent MOT test on 2026-03-25 passing without defects at 160,286 miles. While a failure occurred on 2024-02-28 at 145,196 miles, the subsequent pass the following day suggests any issue was minor and resolved promptly. The preceding tests in March 2025 and February 2024 also passed cleanly, indicating consistent mechanical integrity over the past three years. No recurring faults or advisories appear in the record, reinforcing the vehicle’s reliable condition. Mileage accumulation aligns closely with the vehicle’s age, averaging approximately 10,018 miles annually. Between February 2023 (135,747 miles) and February 2024 (145,247 miles), the van covered 9,500 miles in 12 months. A slightly lower figure followed from February 2024 to March 2025 (5,500 miles over 11 months), with another 10,000 miles added by March 2026. The progression is steady, with no abrupt spikes or irregular gaps suggesting erratic usage patterns. The clean MOT history, devoid of advisories or significant defects, reflects diligent maintenance or at least effective rectification of issues when they arose. Prospective buyers should conduct a thorough in-person inspection focusing on typical wear areas for a 16-year-old commercial vehicle. Examine the chassis and underbody for signs of corrosion, particularly around wheel arches and suspension mounts. Inspect brake components—discs, pads, and calipers—for uneven wear or binding, given the 2024 failure incident. Check suspension bushes, shock absorbers, and tyre tread depth, as these are common wear items affected by mileage and age. The engine bay and transmission should be scrutinised for leaks or excessive play, ensuring the powertrain remains robust despite the accumulated mileage. A full service history review would further corroborate the vehicle’s upkeep.
