Our Verdict
A solid purchase option for those needin
Given the high mileage of 126,467 miles, your primary focus should be on verifying the service history to ensure the 2.4L diesel engine has been maintained according to manufacturer intervals. While the MOT history shows no recent failures, you should ask for evidence of timing belt or chain inspections and fluid changes, which are critical for high-mileage diesel workhorses.
When viewing this specific blue Hilux, check the condition of the chassis and underside for any signs of corrosion, particularly if it has been used for heavy towing or off-road work. Negotiate based on the mileage, as it is significantly higher than the aggregate annual average for this model, and ensure all auxiliary equipment (such as a bed liner or canopy) is included in the price.
As a 2393cc diesel, running costs will be dictated by load and driving style. Expect moderate fuel economy typical of a large pickup, though it will be more efficient on long motorway runs than in stop-start urban environments. Tax and insurance groups for a 2016 Hilux vary depending on specific trim levels, but generally sit in the mid-to-high range for utility vehicles.
Maintenance costs for this model tend to be predictable, though high-mileage components like suspension and braking systems will require attention. Estimated annual running costs, including fuel, tax, insurance, and routine maintenance, are approximately £2,200-£2,800.
Based on the 2022 MOT record, pay close attention to the braking system. Although the 2025 test showed no defects, the previous record noted worn front brake discs and thin pads, so ensure the current braking performance is sharp and any recent replacements are documented.
Additionally, keep an eye out for common model-specific issues identified in aggregate data, such as headlamp alignment, coil spring integrity, and parking brake efficiency. Given the vehicle's age and mileage, a thorough inspection of the suspension components and any potential leaks around the engine bay is highly recommended.
This 2016 Toyota Hilux presents with a consistent MOT record and a mileage of 126,467 miles at its last test in late 2025. While the mileage is higher than the model average of 8,892 per year, the vehicle has passed its recent inspections without any recorded defects. The blue 2.4L diesel variant appears to have transitioned from minor wear items in 2022 to a defect-free status in more recent years.
The Toyota Hilux maintains a respectable reputation, though aggregate data shows a 77.9% average MOT pass rate across the model range.
