2015 Toyota Hilux 3.0L Diesel · SW65 ACY

The 2025‑09‑10 MOT at 84,353 miles resulted in a pass, confirming current roadworthiness, yet the recurring 1.1.11 (c) corrosion of all three brake pipes and the earlier 2023 failure indicating excessive play in the offside track‑rod end ball joint and binding rear service brake reveal a pattern of intermittent mechanical faults that have been remedied but may re‑emerge. Mileage has risen from 38,816 miles in September 2020 to 84,353 miles in September 2025, averaging roughly 7,668 miles per year; the steepest accumulation occurred between September 2022 (64,014 miles) and September 2023 (79,019 miles), a jump of about 15,000 miles in one year, after which the annual increase slowed to roughly 2,200 miles in the most recent twelve months, suggesting a shift from heavier use to more restrained driving. A buyer should therefore inspect the brake lines for rust and signs of grease or material contamination, test the rear brakes for binding or dragging, and examine the suspension for worn track‑rod end ball joints, bushes, and coil springs; the inoperative parking brake on one side should be checked for mechanical failure, while the overall chassis and structural integrity appear sound based on the later passes, though a visual assessment of the brake‑pipe corrosion and surrounding areas remains essential.
