2016 Toyota Hilux 2.4L Diesel · R10 KFP

As a 2393cc diesel, this Hilux will have moderate fuel costs typical of a large pickup, though actual economy will depend heavily on load and driving style. Tax and insurance groups for a 2016 Hilux vary, but you should expect mid-range costs consistent with a commercial-use vehicle.

Maintenance costs for this model can be influenced by the heavy-duty components used. Given the recorded issues with suspension components and transmission leaks, budget for potential repairs to these systems. The estimated annual running cost is likely to be higher than a standard passenger car due to these specific mechanical considerations.

A thorough inspection of the chassis is essential. Specifically, look at the areas identified in the 2023 and 2024 MOT tests: the rear vehicle structure and the suspension component mountings on both the nearside and offside rear. Check for signs of surface rust versus deeper structural degradation.

Secondly, inspect the transmission area for any signs of residual oil leakage, following the 'excessive' leak noted in the November 2024 failure. Finally, examine the front suspension, specifically the coil springs, to ensure the fractured component noted in late 2023 has been replaced with a high-quality part.
