2019 Toyota Hilux 2.4L Diesel · SV19 WVM

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a reactive approach to repairs rather than proactive care. While the most recent test in July 2025 at 48,594 miles passed, it carried over advisories for both rear tyres reaching the legal limit. This mirrors a failure pattern seen in July 2024 where the vehicle initially failed inspection due to thin brake pads and poor tyre condition, suggesting that components are often only addressed once they reach a point of failure. At seven years old with 48,594 miles recorded, the Hilux averages approximately 7,000 miles per year, which is consistent with a light-use commercial vehicle. The data shows a steady usage pattern, with roughly 7,300 miles driven between July 2024 and July 2025. However, the low mileage relative to the age of the vehicle may contribute to the material degradation issues noted in the 2024 report regarding cracking and perishing tyres. This indicates the vehicle may have sat for extended periods, leading to rubber components losing their elasticity despite the low distance travelled. A buyer should inspect the braking system thoroughly, as the record shows recurring issues with thin front pads and an improperly adjusted parking brake lever in 2024. The rear fluid leak noted in July 2023 at 32,620 miles also requires a physical check of the rear differential to ensure the leak was properly rectified and not worsened. Given the repeated advisories for worn rear tyres across multiple years, the age and condition of the rubber sidewalls are critical, as the previous owner appears to have deferred replacement until they were legally unsafe.
