2021 Toyota RAV4 2.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · HJ21 AFA

The vehicle currently maintains a clean roadworthiness record, with the most recent MOT certificate issued on 11 November 2025 at 93,173 miles showing no defects or advisories. This indicates a stable maintenance trend, as the car has passed three consecutive inspections without a single recorded failure or minor fault. The absence of flagged issues across these tests suggests that the vehicle has been subjected to consistent professional care or that any necessary repairs were addressed proactively between inspections. The recorded mileage of 93,173 miles over a five-year period confirms intensive use, averaging approximately 18,635 miles per annum. A significant spike occurred between the February 2024 test at 65,472 miles and the November 2024 test at 82,424 miles, where the vehicle covered nearly 17,000 miles in roughly nine months. This rapid accumulation of mileage is characteristic of motorway-heavy usage, which typically places less strain on transmission and braking components than short-journey urban driving, though it necessitates a closer look at high-wear items like suspension bushings and engine ancillaries. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on components that typically suffer from high-mileage fatigue, specifically the suspension dampers and steering rack integrity. While the MOT history is clean, the high total mileage means the brake discs and pads may be nearing the end of their service life, regardless of their recent pass status. Check the underside for any signs of surface corrosion on the subframe or exhaust system, as the high annual mileage may have exposed the vehicle to significant road salt and debris. Given the lack of historical advisories, any current squeaks, vibrations, or uneven tyre wear should be treated as immediate indicators of neglected maintenance rather than long-term systemic faults.
