2010 Toyota HI-ACE 2.5L Diesel · RF59 NXT

The current test on 2026-06-18 indicates that the vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend is improving rather than worsening or declining. The most recent MOT inspection was conducted on 2025-09-04, where the tester flagged a slight play in the front wheel bearing and underbody corrosion, with the vehicle passing at 187,407 miles. This suggests that while the vehicle has experienced some wear, the current condition is acceptable for its age, and the issue is likely resolved or contained. The mileage pattern is relatively stable, with no significant gaps or rapid accumulation of miles that would suggest a sudden drop-off in performance. The vehicle has maintained approximately 11,713 miles per year, which aligns with its 2010 model year. This consistency indicates that the mechanical components, including the suspension and drivetrain, have not deteriorated significantly over the past 16 years, suggesting that basic upkeep was likely skipped or performed inconsistently in the previous ownership. A buyer should inspect the vehicle for structural integrity and specific mechanical risks, particularly focusing on the suspension and brakes. The history reveals that the rear brake pipe has been corroded and covered in grease or material, which is a serious indication of potential future failure. Additionally, the front windscreen has been damaged, and the registration plate lamp is inoperative, both of which could affect visibility and safety. Given these recurring faults, the vehicle should be inspected in person to assess the condition of the suspension bushings, coil springs, and binding calipers, as well as the state of the brake discs and rotors, to ensure no further deterioration has occurred.
