Toyota Hilux Invincible X (2018) long-term test - Final Report

2nd Report

During its time on the What Van? fleet my Hilux became due for its annual service and was also subject to a minor safety recall.

I was not thrilled to hear this news as I anticipated a time-consuming drive to an out-of-the-way dealership not blessed with convenient public transport links followed by a journey home and another back to pick the vehicle up.

I needn’t have worried, however, because having given Toyota HQ my postcode I received a call from a helpful receptionist at Toyota Bromley who made all the arrangements to both collect and return the Hilux to my south-east London address.

On the arranged day, following a call to let me know their ETA, two technicians turned up to fetch the vehicle, explaining that the recall concerned a problem with the handle on the jack, which could work loose and slip.

Later on that afternoon they returned the Hilux with service completed, jack handle replaced and valeting undertaken inside and out. Job done.

Report Card: Aftersales = 4/5
An efficient and hassle-free service.
