Toyota Hiace reliability and MOT data
Time period snapshot: Last 5 years
Manufacturer: Toyota
Model: Hiace
Toyota Hiace is a rare model in this snapshot, with 5,464 represented vehicles and 0.01% of the active UK pool tracked by AutoRank. For the last 5 years, it has a pass rate of 72.3% from 47,996 MOT tests, with a reliability score of 53. The current pool shows an average of 156,067 miles and an average age of 21.4 years, while mature-fleet mileage is estimated at 156,872 miles. Diesel leads the fuel split, followed by petrol, and the most frequent defect themes are windscreen damage, lighting and battery insecure but not likely to fall from carrier. The practical read is that the Toyota Hiace looks like a solid used-car baseline rather than a rare find, with age, mileage and common wear items doing most of the explaining.
