Should I check the MOT history before buying a 2022 Toyota Hilux Active D 4d 4WD Dcb?

This 2022 Toyota Hilux is a solid performer: its 88% first-time pass rate sits comfortably 8 points above the UK average of 80%, and the 3.2% dangerous defect rate is reassuringly low. The diesel engine is standard across the range, so there's no fuel-type reliability split to consider.

At just over 37,000 miles median, these vehicles are still relatively young and lightly used, which partly explains the strong MOT results. The low failure count of 0.2 per vehicle combined with modest advisories at 0.7 per unit suggests the Hilux is proving durable in early ownership—but before committing, ask the seller for full service history to confirm regular maintenance has kept pace with the vehicle's working demands.

The 2022 Toyota Hilux Active D 4d 4WD Dcb passes its MOT first time more often than most UK vehicles (90.4% vs ~80% average) — and when it does fail, it's usually something minor and cheap to fix.
