Our Verdict
Proceed with caution. While the mileage
Focus your attention on the drivetrain and chassis. The 2025 MOT failure regarding the central prop shaft bearing and a split CV boot suggests wear in the transmission system; you should verify if these were professionally repaired. Given the current advisories, use the needed repairs for the wheel bearing and suspension ball joints as a point for price negotiation.
The 2.5L diesel engine provides the utility expected of a Hilux, but as a 2009 model, it will fall into a higher tax bracket than newer, cleaner diesel engines. Insurance groups for this model are generally moderate, but maintenance costs can rise as the vehicle ages, as evidenced by the recent need for brake and drivetrain work.
Annual running costs will be influenced by the vehicle's age and the likelihood of needing further suspension or exhaust work based on the latest MOT advisories.
Specifically inspect the nearside rear wheel bearing for noise and the offside front upper suspension arm ball joint for play, as highlighted in the July 2026 MOT. You should also check the sills and seat belt anchorage areas for the corrosion mentioned in the records, even though it was not deemed excessive at the time of testing.
Check the rear silencer for signs of the exhaust leak noted in the most recent test. Additionally, ensure the fuel tank is now secure, following the failure recorded on 15th July 2026.
This green 2009 Toyota Hilux has recorded 121,044 miles, which is lower than the model average. The MOT history shows a mix of clean passes and failures, including significant issues with the prop shaft and parking brake in 2025. The most recent test in July 2026 passed, but left several advisories regarding suspension play and wheel bearing noise.
The Hilux has a respectable average MOT pass rate of 78.1% across 80,175 analysed vehicles, with common failures typically linked to headlamps and brakes.
