Toyota Hilux Hl3 D 4d 4x4 D/c (2007)
2007 Toyota Hilux Hl3 D 4d 4x4 D/c
CarHunch analysed 191 real MOT records for the 2007 Toyota Hilux Hl3 D 4d 4x4 D/c. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
This 2007 Hilux diesel is a significantly worse performer than the UK average, with only a 26% first-time pass rate compared to the national 80%—meaning three in four of these vehicles fail their MOT on first attempt. The good news is that dangerous defects are absent from this cohort, so safety-critical failures aren't the issue; instead, these trucks are accumulating around 0.59 failures per test on average, pointing to wear-related mechanical problems rather than fundamental design flaws.
At nearly 148,000 miles on the odometer, these are well-used workhorses, and the pattern of repeated failures suggests age and hard use catch up with them fast. If you're considering one, budget for repairs before and after MOT, have a pre-purchase inspection focus on the drivetrain and suspension, and factor in that you're unlikely to pass first time without work.
What to check before buying a 2007 Toyota Hilux Hl3 D 4d 4x4 D/c
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.
