Toyota Hilux Active D 4d 4x4 Dcb (2014)
2014 Toyota Hilux Active D 4d 4x4 Dcb
CarHunch analysed 132 real MOT records for the 2014 Toyota Hilux Active D 4d 4x4 Dcb. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
This 2014 Hilux diesel has a first-time MOT pass rate of just 38.6%, significantly below the UK average of 80%, which signals serious reliability concerns for potential buyers. The good news is that no vehicles in this cohort have ever recorded a dangerous defect, so catastrophic safety failures aren't the pattern here—instead, you're looking at repeated mechanical issues that need fixing.
With a median mileage of 91,173 miles for a decade-old pickup, these are working vehicles, and the 0.42 average failures per test reflects the wear typical of hard use rather than inherent design flaws. Before buying, budget for a thorough pre-purchase inspection focusing on the drivetrain and suspension, and expect ongoing maintenance costs higher than you'd see in a standard car.
What to check before buying a 2014 Toyota Hilux Active D 4d 4x4 Dcb
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.
