Hilux maintenance costs/running costs

It’s best to get people to think that the maintenance and running costs of the Hilux are somewhat high.

Vehicle tax: Vehicle tax is slightly lower because it is registered as a freight vehicle (commercial vehicle) with number 1. 16,000 yen (1 year)
Voluntary insurance premium: Approximately 80,000 yen (one year) due to the high price of the vehicle.
Vehicle inspection fee: Depending on the age of use, a high vehicle inspection fee may be required. Approximately 100,000 yen (every year)
Parking fee: Due to the large size of the vehicle, a large parking space is required, resulting in an expensive parking fee of approximately 30,000 yen (monthly)
Fuel costs: Although it is a diesel car, fuel costs are high due to the large displacement.
Consumables costs: Consumables costs are high because special parts are used.For diesel cars, AdBlue etc.

Hilux automobile tax 16,000 yen (1 year)

The Hilux’s license plate has the same classification number as a large truck, which is the “1 number” for a regular cargo vehicle. Compared to regular 5-number or 3-number cars, vehicle tax and vehicle weight tax are cheaper. There is a vehicle inspection once a year, so you need to be careful. Applying it to the table, since the Hilux weighs more than 2 tons and less than 3 tons, the vehicle tax will be 16,000 yen.

For 1 number truck (private use)

Voluntary insurance premium: Approximately 80,000 yen (1 year)

Voluntary automobile insurance is insurance that is voluntarily purchased by people who own and use automobiles to compensate for parts that are not covered by compulsory automobile liability insurance, or to prepare for damages that are not covered by compulsory automobile liability insurance . The main differences between compulsory automobile liability insurance and voluntary insurance are as follows.

item	Compulsory automobile liability insurance	Voluntary insurance
Join	compulsion	Any
Coverage	Compensation for persons and property	Personal/property liability, vehicle insurance, passenger insurance, etc.
Compensation amount	minimum level	Subscriber chooses
Insurance fee	Depends on vehicle type and age	Depends on compensation details

Voluntary insurance mainly has the following three types of compensation .

Personal liability insurance: Compensates for damages caused by the other party’s death or injury.
Property Liability Insurance: Covers damages to the other party’s property such as vehicles and buildings.
Vehicle insurance: Covers repair costs if your car is damaged in an accident.

You can freely combine these coverages to choose the coverage that suits you. The premium for voluntary insurance is determined by conditions such as the coverage to be purchased, the type of car, age, and accident history.

This time, you can freely combine insurance plans, and the amount varies depending on the insurance company, so I think it will be around 80,000 yen per year, including vehicle insurance.

Vehicle weight tax (weight tax) 12,300 yen per year for vehicle inspection (1 year)

This is a legal fee that is included in the vehicle inspection fee, so it will be listed in the vehicle inspection price. The amount of vehicle weight tax is determined by vehicle type. The vehicle weight of the Hilux is 2,100kg to 2110kg, and the price is 12,300 yen if it is less than 3 tons. It is important to note that private trucks with number 1 are inspected once a year. It can be said that the burden on cars with a number 1 is heavy, as they are required to undergo an annual vehicle inspection three years after purchasing a new vehicle.

Vehicle weight tax (1 year) during continuous inspections of private trucks with 1 number plate

Vehicle total weight	Less than 13 years after new registration
1t or less	3,300 yen/year
～2t	6,600 yen/year
～2.5t	9,900 yen/year
～3t	12,300 yen/year
～4t	16,400 yen/year
~5t	20,500 yen/year
～6t	24,600 yen/year

1,000kg or less	16,400 yen
1,500kg or less	24,600 yen

Compulsory automobile liability insurance 24,040 yen (1 year)

When you purchase a car, you pay the insurance premium at the time of the vehicle inspection until the next vehicle inspection. The amount of automobile liability insurance premiums differs for standard cars and light cars, and a standard car costs 24,040 yen when purchasing a new car.

Vehicle inspection fee approximately 100,000 yen (every year)

Vehicle inspection is a system to check whether a vehicle complies with the safety standards stipulated by the Road Transport Vehicle Act. All cars must be inspected three years after purchase , and every two years thereafter . However, if the Hilux is the number one vehicle, it must undergo a vehicle inspection once a year.

Legal inspection once every six months

Private cargo vehicles with number 1 are required to undergo legal inspections of 22 items every six months and 82 items every year.

Gasoline cost

Both Japanese models use the same “inline 4-cylinder 2.4L direct injection diesel engine 2GD-FTV type”, but the transmission uses a “6-speed AT (Super-ECT)”.

Fuel consumption for diesel vehicles (4WD) is calculated using WLCT mode fuel consumption: 11.7km/L (9.0km/L).

Diesel car 10,000km=166,667 yen

Consumables/Others

Other expenses include car wash fees and parking fees at your destination. Additionally, diesel engines require regular refilling of AdBlue to clean exhaust gas, which incurs additional costs.

Calculate costs for 1 year

The calculation is based on driving 10,000km per year. Also, since each payment is divided into one year, I have written it as approximately. Other costs and parking fees are not included in the calculations this time as some people incur them and others do not.

Fuel costs: Although it is a diesel vehicle, the large displacement means that fuel costs are high.
Consumables: Special parts are used, so consumables are expensive. For diesel vehicles, AdBlue is used.

Hilux automobile tax 16,000 yen (1 year)

The classification number on the license plate for the Hilux is the “1 number” for ordinary freight vehicles, the same as for large trucks. Compared to regular 5-number or 3-number cars, the automobile tax and automobile weight tax are cheaper. Please note that the vehicle must be inspected once a year. If we apply the table, the Hilux falls into the category of over 2 tons and under 3 tons, so the automobile tax amount is 16,000 yen.

Voluntary insurance premium: Approximately 80,000 yen (1 year)

Voluntary automobile insurance is insurance that a person who owns or uses a car can voluntarily purchase to cover the portion of the insurance that is not covered by compulsory automobile liability insurance, or to prepare for damage that is not covered by compulsory automobile liability insurance . The main differences between compulsory automobile liability insurance and voluntary automobile insurance are as follows:

item	Compulsory automobile liability insurance	Voluntary Insurance
Join	Forced	Any
Coverage	Personal injury and property damage compensation	Personal injury and property damage compensation, vehicle insurance, passenger insurance, etc.
Compensation amount	Minimum	Subscriber’s choice
Insurance fee	Depends on the vehicle type and age	Depends on the compensation

There are three main types of voluntary insurance coverage:

Third-party liability insurance: Covers damages to the other party who is killed or injured.
Property Damage Liability Insurance: Covers damage to the other party’s property, such as vehicles and buildings.
Vehicle insurance: Covers the cost of repairs if your car is damaged in an accident.

You can freely combine these types of coverage to choose the coverage you need. The premium for optional insurance is determined by the coverage you choose, the type of car you own, your age, your accident history, and other factors.

This time, since you can freely combine options and the amount varies depending on the voluntary insurance company, I think it will cost around 80,000 yen per year, including vehicle insurance.

Automobile weight tax (weight tax) for each year of vehicle inspection: 12,300 yen (1 year)

Since it is a statutory fee that is charged within the vehicle inspection fee, it will be listed in the vehicle inspection fee. The amount of automobile weight tax is determined by vehicle model. The vehicle weight of the Hilux is 2,100kg to 2,110kg, and for vehicles under 3 tons, the tax is 12,300 yen. It is important to note that private trucks with license plate 1 only require vehicle inspection once a year. Three years after the purchase of a new vehicle, vehicles with license plate 1 are required to have a continuing vehicle inspection once a year, which means that the burden is heavy.
