Verdict

Buy with care

Pick-up à moteur diesel (2.5 de 144 ch, 3.0 de 171 ch). Les retours publiés sur ses pannes manquent dans notre collecte : aucune panne documentée publiquement, fiabilité non notée. Un pick-up ayant souvent travaillé, l'état du châssis, de la transmission 4x4 et l'historique d'entretien comptent plus que l'année.

Median gap shown only when the country's estimate covers the same years as the French one. Add transport, roadworthiness test and registration.

You are importing the car to:

Import penalty (malus) in France

  • The CO₂ malus follows the scale of the year the vehicle was first registered, in France or abroad (WLTP or NEDC scale depending on its registration certificate).
  • For an imported used car, it is reduced by a flat-rate discount based on its age in months (scheme in force since 1 March 2025). The weight malus also applies on first registration in France.
  • The malus is zero for a car more than fifteen years old or first registered before 1 January 2015.

Check an imported car's history

HistoVec only covers the vehicle's life in France. For a car coming from abroad, a VIN-based report helps spot inconsistent mileage or a reported accident.

Known faults

No fault publicly documented so far, so reliability is not rated. This is no guarantee: have the car checked all the more carefully before buying.

Manufacturer recalls

See the official list on RappelConso (new tab) (French government recall site: category “Automobiles et moyens de déplacement”, search “Toyota Hilux”). A dealer for the brand can also check, using the vehicle identification number (VIN), that recalls have been carried out.

Inspection checklist

Things to check

  • Contrôler le châssis et les bas de caisse : corrosion, réparations, traces de remorquage intensif.
  • Vérifier le fonctionnement des modes 2 roues motrices, 4x4 et gamme courte à l'essai.
  • Examiner l'état de la benne : déformations, usure liée à un usage professionnel.
  • Demander le carnet d'entretien complet, notamment vidanges et distribution.
  • Écouter le moteur à froid et chercher fumées ou fuites au niveau des injecteurs.

Questions to ask the seller

  • Quel usage la voiture a-t-elle eu (professionnel, chantier, remorquage) ?
  • Pouvez-vous présenter le carnet d'entretien et les factures ?
  • Le 4x4 a-t-il été utilisé en tout-terrain et la transmission a-t-elle déjà été réparée ?

Test-drive tip: read the fault codes

A warning light that is off proves nothing: a fault may have been cleared just before the viewing. A Bluetooth OBD2 scanner, plugged in under the steering wheel and read on your phone, shows stored codes and whether all emissions readiness tests have run since the last reset.

Before you buy: check and equip

Check the history

Before paying, check the administrative status (lien, objection, declared claims) and the mileage recorded at the roadworthiness test.

Read fault codes

An OBD scanner plugged in under the steering wheel shows stored fault codes, even with warning lights off: useful during the test drive.
