TOYOTA RAV42013 · 2.2L Diesel

The 2013 Toyota RAV4 presents as roadworthy following a clean pass on 6 November 2025 at 87,703 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The most recent test showed no defects, and the vehicle carries a valid test certificate roughly eight months before the current date. Prior to that pass, the same week saw a failure on 3 November 2025 at 87,700 miles, though the tester logged no specific defects, indicating an administrative or presentation issue rather than a mechanical fault. Annual mileage sits at approximately 6,746 miles per year against the 13-year lifespan, a typical figure for this model and age. The records show steady accumulation: 73,551 miles at the November 2023 test, rising to 82,369 miles by November 2024 and 87,703 miles by November 2025. The gap between the two 2023 entries is only seven days, with identical mileage, and the same pattern repeats in November 2025, where the car failed then passed within three days at near-identical mileage. Such paired fail-pass entries with no recorded defects suggest retesting after minor non-mechanical corrections or documentation errors, not escalating wear. The absence of any advisories or defects across five tests points to consistent upkeep of consumables and structural items by prior owners. No corrosion, suspension bush wear, brake disc scoring, or exhaust emission breaches appear in the data. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of underbody structural integrity and suspension components, as MOT cleanliness does not capture incipient rust or fatigued coil springs unseen at test. Verify the reason for the two zero-defect failures with the DVSA, since repeated fail-pass cycles without listed faults warrant confirmation that no hidden mechanical concern was waived.
