TOYOTA RAV4 DESIGN PHEV AUTO2022 · 2.5L Hybrid Electric (Clean)

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status based on its recent testing history. The most recent MOT test on 11 December 2025 at 51,942 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, despite an initial failure on the same day. This suggests a specific mechanical issue was rectified immediately, and since that point, the vehicle has maintained a clean record without any advisories or recurring faults across the last three tests. The mileage pattern indicates high-intensity use for a four-year-old vehicle, averaging 13,000 miles per annum. There is a significant surge in usage between February 2023 at 10,892 miles and January 2024 at 25,672 miles, where the car covered 15,000 miles in under eleven months. The accumulation continued at a similar rate through December 2024, reaching 41,022 miles. This consistent mileage puts predictable strain on wear items such as tyres, suspension bushings, and hybrid drivetrain components. Given the lack of advisories in the digital record, a physical inspection should focus on the condition of components typically affected by high annual mileage. A buyer must verify the state of the brake discs for uneven wear and check the suspension geometry for signs of premature play or perished rubber. Because the December 2025 test showed an immediate failure followed by a pass, it is worth confirming the specific reason for that failure with the owner or service history to ensure it was not a symptom of a deeper mechanical issue that has since been masked.
