2021 Toyota Hilux Active D-4D 4WD ECB 2.4L Heavy oil · MX21 BFV

The vehicle holds a valid DVSA pass from the 12 June 2025 test at 80,909 miles, with no defects or advisories recorded. The maintenance trend is stable, as the preceding test on 23 May 2024 at 50,903 miles also passed clean. There is no evidence of deteriorating mechanical condition, no recurring component failures, and no structural warnings in the recorded history. The mileage pattern deserves scrutiny. Between May 2024 and June 2025, the vehicle covered roughly 30,000 miles in just over twelve months, which is an unusually high annual rate of around 28,000 miles per year. The overall average of approximately 16,000 miles per year across five years is well above typical light-use expectations, but the concentrated spike suggests sustained motorway or commercial driving rather than occasional use. That workload translates directly into accelerated wear on tyres, brake discs, suspension bushes, and drivetrain components, even though the MOT record has not yet captured any resulting failures. The MOT history contains no advisories for binding calipers, corroded brake lines, worn suspension arms, or chassis corrosion, which is a positive sign for a vehicle of this age and mileage. However, a clean test does not guarantee the absence of developing wear. A buyer should physically check for uneven tyre tread wear, brake disc lip and judder, and any knocking from the front suspension when turning. The Hilux is a work-oriented 4WD platform, so examine the underside for impact damage, scraped sills, and any signs of off-road abuse. With only two MOT entries available, the vehicle history is sparse; a private inspection and a fresh look at the cooling system, clutch take-up, and four-wheel-drive engagement are prudent before purchase.
