2023 Toyota Hilux Active D-4D 4WD DCB 2.4L Heavy oil · MW23 KMG

The most recent MOT test conducted on 24 June 2026 resulted in a clean pass with no recorded defects or advisories. This indicates that at the time of testing, the vehicle met all statutory safety and environmental standards. Based on the available records, the maintenance trend appears stable, suggesting that the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that satisfies current DVSA requirements without any immediate regulatory failures. The recorded mileage of 76,447 miles for a three-year-old vehicle represents a high annual usage rate of approximately 25,482 miles. This level of mileage is significantly higher than the typical UK average and indicates heavy commercial or intensive long-distance use. While high mileage can often correlate with more frequent mechanical oversight, it also implies accelerated wear on consumable components. You should anticipate that parts such as brake pads, discs, tyres, and suspension bushes will be closer to the end of their service life compared to a lower-mileage equivalent. Since the MOT history is clean, your physical inspection should focus on the mechanical implications of high-intensity usage. During a test drive, listen closely for any suspension clunks or knocks when driving over uneven surfaces, which may indicate worn dampers or bushings. Monitor the braking performance for any shuddering or vibration, which could point to warped discs, or check for any pulling to one side that might suggest binding calipers. Additionally, inspect the tyre sidewalls for uneven wear patterns, as high mileage can often lead to alignment issues that affect handling and tyre longevity. It is essential to verify the service history via the physical service book to ensure that oil and filter changes have been conducted strictly according to the manufacturer's schedule, as diesel engines require consistent lubrication to prevent turbocharger or injector issues. Inspect the vehicle's underside for any signs of fluid leaks from the differential, gearbox, or transfer box, which is particularly important for a four-wheel-drive system. Finally, check the condition of all drive belts and coolant hoses for signs of perishing or cracking, and ensure the battery and charging system are robust enough to handle the demands of a high-use vehicle.
