Our Verdict
A solid option for those needing a high-utility vehicle, provided the high mileage is factored into negotiations. The recent MOT history shows a clean pass without defects, which is a positive sign for its current roadworthiness.
When inspecting this 2.5L diesel Hilux, focus on the high mileage. With nearly 200,000 miles on the clock, you should request evidence of major component replacements, such as the timing belt or clutch, if applicable to this specific engine variant.
Given the model's aggregate failure trends, pay close attention to the lighting systems and braking components. Although this specific vehicle had no defects in its most recent test, checking the condition of brake pipes and pads is essential for a vehicle of this age and usage level.
Running a 2494cc diesel Hilux involves higher-than-average costs compared to a standard passenger car. Fuel economy will depend heavily on load and driving style, but expect typical diesel pickup figures.
Tax and insurance groups for a 2010 Hilux are generally moderate, but maintenance costs should be budgeted for higher due to the vehicle's age and high mileage. Expect more frequent requirements for heavy-duty consumables like tyres and suspension components.
Start by checking the headlamps and lighting assemblies, as 'headlamp' is a common failure reason for this model across the wider dataset. Ensure all indicators and high beams are functioning correctly.
Next, perform a thorough inspection of the braking system. Look for signs of corrosion or leaks in the brake pipes and check the remaining thickness of the brake pads. Given the 191,491 miles recorded, also inspect the underside for any signs of heavy wear or structural fatigue consistent with high-mileage utility use.
This 2010 Toyota Hilux, finished in black, has covered 191,491 miles as of its last MOT in July 2024. While the mileage is significantly higher than the model average of 8,898 miles per year, the vehicle has maintained a consistent MOT schedule. The most recent test in July 2024 resulted in a pass with no defects recorded.
The Toyota Hilux maintains a 78.0% average MOT pass rate across 80,110 analysed vehicles.
