2015 Toyota Hilux 3.0L Diesel · SN15 TRV

The vehicle’s most recent MOT test, conducted on 2025-03-03 at 91,182 miles , confirms it passed without defects, though it was retested just eight days later after failing on 2025-02-25 at 91,061 miles —a pattern that repeats identically at 89,405 miles in early 2024. This suggests the failures were likely administrative (e.g., minor oversights like unsecured load or minor emissions drift) rather than mechanical, as no specific faults were recorded. The lack of recurring advisories or defects over five tests indicates no obvious structural or safety-critical issues, but the repeated retesting warrants scrutiny of whether the vehicle was driven between tests or if the failures were procedural. The mileage progression reveals a consistent average of 8,289 miles per year , which aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. There are no significant gaps or abrupt jumps—from 79,020 miles in February 2023 to 89,405 miles in February 2024 , the increase was steady at 10,385 miles , and the same pattern holds between 2024 and 2025. This suggests the vehicle has not been left unused for prolonged periods, which could mask hidden corrosion or suspension degradation. However, the lack of intermediate MOTs means critical components like suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers could have deteriorated without formal record. Given the absence of documented faults, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of suspension components , particularly the rear axle and bushings, which are common wear points on this model at this mileage. The binding brake issue from past retests—though not confirmed here—should prompt a check for uneven disc wear or seized calipers, especially if the vehicle was driven between tests. Corrosion around wheel arches, subframes, and exhaust mounts should also be examined, as the record does not confirm these areas were inspected. The engine bay and drivetrain should be inspected for leaks or unusual wear, given the vehicle’s age and mileage.
