2021 CPL Hilux CPL Mewp 2.4L Diesel · KX71 DLK

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 2 September 2025, which is roughly nine months ago from today. However, the history reveals a significant mechanical failure that occurred just three days prior to this pass. On 29 August 2025, the tester recorded a dangerous fail due to the offside rear leaf spring being both fractured and seriously weakened. This is a major structural defect that compromises the vehicle's load-carrying ability and safety. At the time of the failure, the nearside front bumper was also insecure, and the brake performance could not be tested because the suspension damage was likely to cause further harm. The rapid turnaround to a pass suggests these components—specifically the rear leaf springs—were replaced or repaired immediately. The condition trend is currently stable given the clean pass, but the sudden fracture of a leaf spring is a serious red flag regarding the stress the vehicle has endured. Regarding mileage, the vehicle has covered 44,022 miles over five years, averaging roughly 8,800 miles annually. However, the usage pattern is not consistent. Between the 2024 and 2025 tests, the vehicle covered over 14,000 miles in a single year.
