2010 Toyota HI-ACE 2.5L Diesel · SC59 DZY

The Toyota Hi-Ace presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent test on 31 October 2025 at 174,639 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. The vehicle has cleared every annual examination since November 2022 without any advisories or noted wear, indicating consistent upkeep across the past three years. Mileage progression tracks typical use for a 2010 van. The record shows 145,868 miles at the 2 November 2022 test, rising to 155,728 miles by 9 November 2023, then 165,331 miles on 29 October 2024, and 174,639 miles in October 2025. That equates to roughly 9,800 to 10,000 miles per year, slightly below the 10,915 annual average for the age. The sole irregularity is a failed test on 8 November 2023 at 155,728 miles with no defects listed, reversed by a pass the next day; this suggests an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and corrosion points, given the Hi-Ace chassis is now sixteen years old and exposed to winter salting. Although the MOT history shows no advisories on suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, or exhaust emissions, the absence of flagged wear across high-mileage years may reflect test tolerance rather than component condition. Verify the 8 November 2023 failure cause through DVSA documentation before purchase. Check front and rear brake calipers for binding, examine tyre tread depth and sidewall cracking, and confirm the drivetrain shows no oil leakage at 174,639 miles. The clean record implies a careful prior owner, but in-person scrutiny remains essential on a van of this age and mileage.
