2019 TOYOTA RAV42.5L Hybrid Electric (Clean)

The 2019 Toyota RAV4 stands as roadworthy on the evidence of its most recent DVSA examination. In the August 2025 test at 38,372 miles, the tester issued a pass with no defects recorded. Across the four available annual tests from September 2022 to August 2025, the maintenance trend is stable, with every inspection returning a clean result and zero advisories. Mileage sits low for the vehicle's age. The record shows 21,121 miles in the September 2022 test, rising to 25,233 miles by September 2023, then 28,298 miles in August 2024, and 38,372 miles in August 2025. That equates to roughly 5,482 miles per year against the July 2026 reference date. The incremental climbs indicate light but consistent use, with no abrupt accumulation or missing test windows. Such a clean, sparse history suggests the previous keeper exercised the car gently and likely stored it under cover. No recurring faults or structural concerns appear in the MOT data, so the buyer faces no flagged suspension bushes, coil springs, brake disc wear, or corrosion. The tester never raised advisories on exhaust emissions or binding calipers. Nevertheless, low annual distances can conceal age-related degradation. A pre-purchase check should target brake calipers for seizing after prolonged standing, assess underbody structural integrity for incipient rust, and inspect tyre sidewalls for cracking despite adequate tread. The absent defects imply the former owner met statutory upkeep, yet consumable items such as wiper blades and rubber mounts may have hardened with time rather than worn through use. Verify fluid change intervals and scrutinise drivetrain seals for weeping. This RAV4's record supports a sound mechanical baseline, but physical inspection remains essential to confirm the paper trail.
