2013 Toyota Hilux 2.5L Diesel · SC13 ACF

This Toyota Hilux presents an exceptionally clean MOT history, indicating a stable and high standard of mechanical maintenance. The most recent test on 26 March 2026 at 82,129 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to April 2023, suggesting the vehicle has been kept in a roadworthy state without the recurring faults typically seen in older utility vehicles. The mileage accumulation is consistent and moderate for a 13-year-old vehicle. It covered 8,795 miles between April 2024 and April 2025, and a further 9,134 miles leading up to the March 2026 test. This steady usage pattern suggests the vehicle has avoided long periods of standing, which often leads to seized brake calipers or perished rubber components. The lack of any recorded defects across these intervals points to a disciplined approach to preventative maintenance. Despite the clean record, the age and nature of this model necessitate a physical inspection of the chassis and underside. MOT testers often overlook surface corrosion on the frame unless it compromises structural integrity, but Hilux models are prone to rust in salt-heavy environments. A buyer should specifically check the chassis rails and suspension mounting points for oxidation. The absence of advisories regarding brake disc wear or suspension bush degradation is unusual for a vehicle of this age. You should verify that the service history matches the MOT cleanliness, ensuring that oil changes and filter replacements occurred regardless of the low annual mileage. Focus the physical inspection on the drivetrain and 4WD engagement to ensure the mechanical systems remain fluid.
