2022 Toyota Hilux Icon D-4D 4WD DCB Auto 2.4L Diesel · LR22 VRO

This Toyota Hilux has maintained a clean MOT history with no defects recorded in either of the two most recent tests, most recently passing on 7 October 2025 at 44,351 miles. The absence of advisories or failings suggests the vehicle has been subjected to consistent, if not exemplary, maintenance over the past year. The most recent test date, just under nine months ago, aligns with the typical MOT cycle, indicating the vehicle has not been driven excessively since then. There is no evidence of recurring mechanical issues, and the lack of any advisory notes implies that even minor wear items—such as suspension bushes or brake pads—have likely been addressed proactively. The recorded mileage of 44,351 miles over four years from its 2022 registration reflects an average annual distance of approximately 11,088 miles, which is within the expected range for a commercial or mixed-use vehicle of this age. The gap between tests—nearly five months between May 2025 (39,987 miles) and October 2025 (44,351 miles)—does not indicate excessive wear, nor does it suggest prolonged neglect. There are no red flags in the mileage progression, though the absence of intermediate MOTs means no data exists to confirm whether intermediate servicing was performed. This could be a minor oversight, as regular servicing—especially for a diesel 4WD—would help mitigate long-term risks to the turbocharger, differential fluids, or transfer case. Given the clean MOT record, a buyer should prioritise an in-person inspection of high-wear components that are not directly tested during an MOT but are critical to long-term reliability. The suspension—particularly the rear coil springs, bushes, and shock absorbers—should be examined for uneven wear or corrosion, as these are often overlooked until they fail. The braking system merits close scrutiny, including the condition of rear brake discs for scoring or glazing, which could indicate binding calipers or inadequate cooling, even if the MOT did not flag them. Additionally, the underbody should be inspected for corrosion around the sills, subframe, and exhaust system, as diesel vehicles are prone to rust in these areas despite their robust construction. Finally, the turbocharger and intercooler should be checked for leaks or excessive carbon buildup, as diesel engines of this age often develop issues in these areas if servicing has been irregular.
