2009 Toyota Hilux 3.0L Diesel · T5 LDN

Given the very low annual mileage, it is worth asking why the vehicle has been used so sparingly — a long-undriven diesel can suffer from DPF issues, seized brakes, dried seals, and stale fuel, so a thorough cold-start inspection is essential. Check the service history carefully; long gaps between services are a bigger concern than the low mileage itself, and you should look for evidence of regular oil and filter changes at appropriate intervals. The Hilux is a sought-after working vehicle, so clean, low-mileage examples like this typically command a premium — verify the provenance and check for any signs of previous commercial use, such as a worn load bed or tow bar wear. Negotiation points should focus on the cost of replacing both front brake discs and pads, as the advisories span three consecutive tests, plus a cambelt service if records cannot confirm it has been done within the recommended interval (typically every 100,000 miles or 10 years for the 1KD-FTV engine).

This T5LDN-registered Hilux has covered just 44,430 miles across nearly 17 years, averaging roughly 2,600 miles per year, which is dramatically below the 8,881-mile model average. Four MOT tests are recorded, all passed, with the most recent two (2025 and 2026) showing no defects at all. Advisories have been limited to front brake disc wear on both sides across three consecutive tests, which is a common and minor observation on a vehicle of this age and likely working nature. The 2,982cc diesel engine is the well-regarded 1KD-FTV unit found across the Hilux range.
