The Toyota HiLux is the cockroach of utes—in the nicest way—so with sensible servicing many will sail past 300,000–500,000 km without drama.
Plenty of lightly worked examples crack 500,000+ km; abused mining and fleet rigs can tire earlier, because physics and corrugations don’t do mercy.
Stick to logbook services, keep cooling and fuel systems happy, and treat clutches, suspension and tyres like consumables, not immortals.
Before buying, get a pre-purchase inspection and read the service history like it owes you money; longevity is mostly maintenance, not magic.
