Toyota HILUX

2011–2011

The 2011 Toyota HILUX has a concerning 24.3% MOT failure rate, particularly for corrosion.

The 2011 Toyota HILUX has been identified as one of the worst vehicles for corrosion, with an overall MOT failure rate of 24.3% based on 1001 tests conducted by the DVSA. This high failure rate indicates significant reliability concerns, especially for potential buyers considering this model.

Corrosion-related issues contribute to this failure rate, which is compounded by the vehicle's age and exposure to the elements. The failure rate increases notably with mileage; for example, vehicles with over 120,000 miles show a staggering 37.3% failure rate. This suggests that as the HILUX ages and accumulates mileage, the risk of corrosion-related failures escalates.

In addition to corrosion, the top defect categories reported include brakes (29.97%), lights (19.68%), and tyres (19.18%). These figures highlight not only the corrosion issues but also other significant areas of concern that could affect the vehicle's safety and performance.

Given these statistics, potential buyers should approach the 2011 Toyota HILUX with caution, particularly if the vehicle has high mileage or shows signs of corrosion. It may be prudent to consider alternative models with better reliability records.
