Verdict

Good choice, check first

Pick-up diesel réputé robuste : CarVerif lui donne 7,5/10 de fiabilité globale et 9/10 pour la mécanique. Ses points faibles documentés sont le filtre à particules et les injecteurs du 2.4 D-4D, surtout en usage urbain, et un rappel d'airbags en 2016. Les retours publiés viennent d'une seule source : à recouper avec le carnet d'entretien.

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.

Manufacturer recalls

Manufacturer recall campaign, fixed free of charge at a dealer:

  • Rappel airbags de 2016 (2.4 D-4D 150, 2.4 D-4D 150 BVA, 2.8 D-4D 204)

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.

Recalls published in France (RappelConso)

  • 8 October 2024 — La borne de batterie auxiliaire peut être défectueuse. Cela peut désactiver le support de direction assistée. De plus, la borne de la batterie peut surchauffer à basse vitesse, ce qui augmente le risque d’incendie. Official notice

Inspection checklist

Things to check

  • Faire vérifier avec le numéro de série les rappels effectués, notamment celui des airbags de 2016.
  • Contrôler l'historique du FAP (régénérations, remplacement) : il est cité comme point faible dès 40 000 km.
  • Écouter le moteur à froid et vérifier l'absence de ratés ou de fumée (injecteurs).
  • Essayer le passage en 4x4 enclenchable et la boîte (manuelle ou automatique).
  • Contrôler l'usure du châssis, de la benne et des traces d'usage intensif ou professionnel.

Questions to ask the seller

  • Le rappel d'airbags a-t-il été effectué (modèles 2016) ? Avez-vous l'attestation ?
  • Le FAP ou les injecteurs ont-ils déjà été remplacés, et à quel kilométrage ?
  • La voiture a-t-elle servi pour un usage professionnel ou de la traction régulière ?

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.
