Which Toyota Hiace years should I avoid?

The Toyota Hiace build year that fails most for its age is 2003: index 104.0 (95% CI 100.3–107.7) against the model's own age norm of 100 (2019–2024, n = 7,439).

Build year matters for the Toyota Hiace: 2003 Toyota Hiaces fail more than their age would predict, 2007 ones less. Years whose confidence interval includes normal are shown without a label.

If a Toyota Hiace fails, does it fail again?

36.6% of Toyota Hiaces that failed an MOT failed the next one too, against 29.3% after a pass (2019–2024, n = 9,375). The failure most likely to come back is identification of the vehicle: 35.5% of those fails recurred at the next MOT.

What does a Toyota Hiace cost to run in a fleet?

Of every 100 Toyota Hiaces tested at age 9, about 36 failed the MOT first time (rough estimate); at age 19, about 36 (rough estimate). These are one-year rates for different cars tested in the same year, not a fleet followed over time (2024).

Does the Toyota Hiace fail inspections in other countries too?

In Norway, 44.5% of Toyota Hiaces failed their periodic roadworthiness inspection, against 33.7% for all vehicles there (2024 by country, n = 1,127 inspections).

Both readings are shown: this comparison changes when usage or inspection rules differ.

Inspections abroad disagree: none point the same way as Britain, Norway and Finland do not. Test rules, climate and how the vehicles are used differ, so both readings are shown.

Toyota Hiace MOT: quick answers

What is the Toyota Hiace first-time MOT pass rate?

64.3% of first attempts passed in 2024 (14,396 tests). Retests after repair are excluded; cars fixed at the test centre (PRS) are shown separately.

Why does this number differ from other sites?

Other sites may count retests or all attempts. This page uses 14,396 primary tests: 35.68% failed first time and 72.2% passed when cars fixed at the test centre (PRS) count as passes. The age-adjusted MOT Risk Index 87.5 is shown separately.
