Hino Unknown (2007)
2007 Hino Unknown
CarHunch analysed 546 real MOT records for the 2007 Hino Unknown. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
This 2007 Hino is a commercial vehicle with a catastrophically poor first-time pass rate of just 1.1% against the UK average of 80%—meaning 99 out of 100 fail their MOT on the first attempt. The diesel variants (which make up 539 of the 546 vehicles) are even worse at 0.2% pass rate, though the complete absence of dangerous defects is the only bright spot here.
These are high-mileage commercial workhorses with a median of 504,696 miles, and while the low failure count (0.04 per vehicle) suggests issues are minor when they occur, the sheer scale of repeat testing required tells you this fleet is running at the edge of roadworthiness. If you're considering one of these trucks, budget for immediate and ongoing maintenance before it will pass MOT, and factor in repeated test fees—this isn't a casual purchase.
What to check before buying a 2007 Hino Unknown
Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
- 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
- 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
- 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
