2021 TOYOTA RAV42.5L Hybrid Electric (Clean)

This Toyota RAV4 demonstrates a consistent roadworthiness record with no defects recorded across three consecutive MOT tests, the most recent of which occurred just four months ago on 25 March 2026. The vehicle has passed every test without fail, indicating no recurring mechanical or structural issues that would warrant advisories or failures. The absence of any advisories—even minor ones—suggests that previous owners have likely addressed routine maintenance proactively, though an in-person inspection remains essential to verify the current state of high-wear components. The mileage progression shows a steady accumulation of approximately 10,089 miles annually, which aligns with typical usage patterns for a vehicle of this age. There are no unusual gaps or spikes in mileage between tests, with the most recent 12,606 miles covered since the 2025 test on 19 March. This regularity implies consistent driving habits rather than prolonged neglect or excessive wear. However, the lack of intermediate service records means critical maintenance—such as suspension bush replacements, timing belt inspections, or differential fluid changes—cannot be confirmed from this data alone. Given the clean MOT history, priority should be given to inspecting suspension components, particularly the rear coil springs and bushes, which often degrade predictably at this mileage. The brakes, while not flagged in tests, should be assessed for uneven wear or binding calipers, especially if the vehicle has been driven in mixed conditions. Corrosion around wheel arches, sills, and the subframe is another area to examine closely, as it can develop silently even when MOTs pass. The exhaust system should also be checked for leaks or excessive rust, as emissions-related failures are uncommon but possible without regular underbody inspections. The battery and fluid levels (coolant, brake, power steering) warrant verification, as these are not MOT-tested but critical for long-term reliability.
