Which Toyota Hilux years should I avoid?

The Toyota Hilux build year that fails most for its age is 2020: index 106.7 (95% CI 101.8–111.6) against the model's own age norm of 100 (2019–2024, n = 9,843).

Build year matters for the Toyota Hilux: 2020 Toyota Hilux models fail more than their age would predict, 2017 ones less. Years whose confidence interval includes normal are shown without a label.

How many years is a Toyota Hilux likely to last?

Toyota Hilux models leave the road sooner than most: at ten years old the typical one has about 5.2 more years of MOTs ahead. This is a forecast from the survival curve and may not come true.

If a Toyota Hilux fails, does it fail again?

34% of Toyota Hilux models that failed an MOT failed the next one too, against 27% after a pass (2019–2024, n = 28,850). The failure most likely to come back is visibility: 31.1% of those fails recurred at the next MOT.

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

Of every 100 Toyota Hilux models tested at age 5, about 20 failed the MOT first time; at age 10, about 36. These are one-year rates for different cars tested in the same year, not a fleet followed over time; the steepest one-year step in this cross-section is between cars aged 7 and 8, 7.42 percentage points (2024).

Toyota Hilux MOT: quick answers

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

69.1% of first attempts passed in 2024 (71,998 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 71,998 primary tests: 30.91% failed first time and 75.4% passed when cars fixed at the test centre (PRS) count as passes. The age-adjusted MOT Risk Index 114.3 is shown separately.
