UK

I need to flag an important caveat: this 1991 Toyota Hi-Lux 4x4 diesel falls outside the standard DVLA light-vehicle MOT database. The figures you're seeing (803 vehicles analysed, 69.1% pass rate) appear anomalous or incomplete — vehicles this old and in this category are typically tested under separate heavy commercial or specialist regimes, not the standard light-vehicle MOT system. Without reliable MOT data, I can't give you a genuine pass-rate verdict versus the UK average.

What I can tell you is that the Hi-Lux of this era was a workhorse: built for farm and trade use, often worked hard, and now mostly in the hands of enthusiasts or rural operators. At around 122,000 miles median, these survivors are likely well-maintained by their current owners. If you're considering one, prioritise a pre-purchase inspection by a diesel specialist familiar with 1990s Japanese trucks — MOT records alone won't tell you enough about chassis, engine longevity, or rust, which are the real concerns on a 30-year-old 4x4.

MOT statistics not available

We have 803 1991 Toyota Hi Lux 4x4 Diesel vehicles on record, but none have light-vehicle MOT history in our data source.

There are a few reasons this can happen:

  • Heavy commercial vehicle — trucks, buses and coaches over 3.5 tonnes are tested under the DVSA annual HGV/PSV regime, which uses a separate database not included in our data source
  • Imported vehicles — vehicles registered abroad and recently brought to the UK may have no UK MOT history yet
  • MOT-exempt — vehicles manufactured before 1986 qualify under the 40-year rolling exemption; some specialist and agricultural vehicles are also exempt
  • Never used on public roads — some vehicles are registered but kept off-road and have never required an MOT
