2016 Toyota Hilux 3.0L Diesel · SM16 SXC

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status despite a history of intermittent failures. The most recent test on 17 May 2025 at 101,214 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, following a failure just three weeks prior at the same mileage. This suggests the previous owner was proactive in rectifying issues identified by the tester, as the vehicle met all regulatory standards in the subsequent inspection without any advisories noted on the record. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical utility use for a Hil, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per year. There is a notable gap of 14,768 miles between the November 2022 test at 74,251 miles and the February 2024 test at 88,089 miles. Since then, the vehicle has covered 13,125 miles in the period leading to the May 2025 inspection. This steady accumulation indicates the vehicle is used regularly, which generally helps prevent the degradation of component seals associated with long stationary periods. While the current record shows no outstanding advisory faults, the buyer must investigate the specific causes of the failures in February 2024 and April 2025. Because the provided data does not list the specific reasons for these failures, a physical inspection is required to determine if they were minor consumable replacements or more significant mechanical issues. Given the vehicle's age and mileage, a thorough check of the chassis for structural corrosion and an assessment of the suspension bushes and coil springs are essential to ensure no hidden wear is developing between the annual test cycles.
