2021 TOYOTA RAV42.5L Hybrid Electric (Clean)

The vehicle presents as roadworthy with a clean test record. In the 11 March 2026 examination at 32,781 miles, roughly four months before today's date, the tester recorded no defects and issued a pass. The maintenance trend is stable across the three annual certificates, with no advisories or failures logged. Prior tests on 12 March 2025 at 23,918 miles and 22 March 2024 at 17,543 miles also returned passes with no defects noted. Mileage accumulation sits below typical averages for a five-year-old vehicle. The Rav4 recorded 32,781 miles on the latest certificate, equating to circa 6,556 miles per year. From 22 March 2024 to 12 March 2025 the odometer advanced 6,375 miles; the subsequent year to 11 March 2026 added 8,863 miles. Such modest yearly use suggests light motoring, possibly with extended standing periods, though the DVSA data shows no gaps beyond the standard twelve-month cycle. The absence of recorded advisories means no recurring mechanical or structural concerns surfaced in the official history. Previous owners clearly kept the car to a schedule that satisfied examiners on each occasion. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of consumable items not always visible to the test bay, particularly suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake disc condition given the low mileage may mask intermittent corrosion or binding calipers from disuse. Examine underside structural integrity for rust, check exhaust emissions under load, and verify tyre sidewall condition despite no tread warnings. The clean MOT ledger implies conscientious basic upkeep, but low annual distances can conceal degraded rubber or seized linkages. A pre-purchase appraisal remains prudent.
