2018 Toyota Hilux 2.4L Diesel · SN18 XRG

The 2018 Toyota Hilux remains roadworthy as of its most recent MOT on 2022-04-06, with no defects recorded at 130,473 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the vehicle passed both the 2021 and 2022 tests without issues. This consistent success suggests the owner has maintained the vehicle to a standard that meets UK roadworthiness requirements, with no signs of deteriorating mechanical or structural integrity in the last two years. The recorded mileage of 130,473 miles over eight years equates to approximately 16,309 miles per year, which is notably high for a vehicle of this age. The gap between the 2021 and 2022 MOTs shows a significant increase in mileage—33,006 miles in just one year—indicating either heavy use or a possible odometer reset. While the MOT history is clean, the rapid accumulation of miles in a short timeframe raises questions about the wear on high-mileage components such as the suspension, brakes, and drivetrain. Given the high annual mileage and the age of the vehicle, a buyer should conduct a thorough pre-purchase inspection focusing on suspension components, particularly the coil springs and bushes, which are common wear points in older Hilux models. Brake discs and pads should also be examined for excessive wear, and the rear brakes should be checked for binding, as this is a known issue in some Hilux variants. Additionally, inspect the undercarriage for signs of corrosion or structural damage, especially around the wheel arches and chassis rails, which can be exacerbated by heavy use and exposure to road salt.
