2013 TOYOTA RAV42.0L Petrol

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness based on a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test conducted on 3 May 2024 at 105,633 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This performance mirrors the results from the July 2022 and 2023 tests, indicating a stable maintenance trend where recurring mechanical or structural failures have been avoided. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent with the vehicle's thirteen-year age, averaging approximately 8,126 miles per year. Between July 2022 at 90,930 miles and July 2023 at 100,087 miles, the car covered 9,157 miles, followed by another 5,546 miles leading up to the May 2024 test. This regular usage suggests typical operation rather than long periods of standing, which is generally beneficial for engine seals and braking components to prevent the corrosion associated with inactivity. While the MOT record shows no recorded faults, a physical inspection should focus on common wear points for a RAV4 of this age. A buyer should examine the suspension for signs of rubber component perish, specifically checking the bushes and shock absorbers for leaks. Given the mileage, verifying the condition of the brake discs for thinning and ensuring the calipers are not binding is prudent, as the MOT only tests for functional efficiency rather than overall component health.
