2020 Toyota RAV4 2.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · C11 JCK

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile with a clean MOT history. The most recent test on 29 July 2025 at 82,665 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows two consecutive clean passes in August 2024 and August 2023, indicating a consistent standard of upkeep regarding the essential safety and environmental components required for an MOT pass. The mileage accumulation shows a steady and significant increase, averaging approximately 13,778 miles per year. The data shows a progression from 73,925 miles in August 2023 to 78,203 miles in August 2024, and finally reaching 82,665 miles by July 2025. This higher-than-average annual mileage suggests the vehicle has seen regular, heavy use rather than sitting idle, which typically results in more consistent mechanical wear across the drivetrain and chassis. Because the MOT record is entirely free of advisories, there is no documented history of issues with suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake corrosion. However, given the high mileage and the consistent annual usage, a physical inspection should focus on wear items that often fall outside the scope of a standard MOT. I recommend checking the condition of the brake discs for deep grooving and inspecting the suspension bushings and shock absorbers for signs of leakage or perished rubber. The lack of recorded emissions or structural issues is a positive indicator, but the high mileage necessitates a thorough check of the service history to ensure oil changes and fluid intervals were strictly followed. Pay particular attention to the tyres and wiper blades, as these are common consumables that may show wear despite a passing MOT certificate. The vehicle appears mechanically sound from a regulatory standpoint, but the high mileage warrants a close look at the underside for any signs of premature wear in the suspension or steering components.
