2021 Toyota Hilux Icon D 4d 4WD Dcb Auto

CarHunch analysed 428 real MOT records for the 2021 Toyota Hilux Icon D 4d 4WD Dcb Auto. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.

This 2021 Hilux diesel is a solid performer, passing its MOT first time in 84% of cases—comfortably ahead of the UK average of 80%—with only 10.3% of vehicles ever flagged for dangerous defects, which is well within acceptable limits for a truck of this age. The median mileage sits at 48,384 miles, which is exactly what you'd expect for a three-year-old vehicle, suggesting these are being driven normally rather than hammered or left idle. Average vehicles are picking up 0.51 failures and 1.8 advisories per test, indicating minor wear items rather than systemic problems—typical of a sturdy commercial platform that handles neglect reasonably well. If you're buying one, get a full service history check and have the suspension and steering components inspected, as these are the usual weak points on high-mileage work trucks.

What to check before buying a 2021 Toyota Hilux Icon D 4d 4WD Dcb Auto

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.
