2014 TOYOTA RAV4 ICON D-4D2.0L HEAVY OIL

The vehicle is roadworthy and the maintenance record shows a stable trend. The February 2026 test at 127,844 miles recorded a pass with no defects noted. Earlier tests from 2025, 2024, 2023, 2021, 2019 and 2018 also returned passes with no defects recorded, indicating consistent compliance with MOT standards. The mileage progression reflects typical usage for a twelve‑year‑old model, averaging about 10,600 miles per year. Increments between tests range from roughly 10,000 to 12,000 miles, with the longest interval of fourteen months between the January 2023 and March 2024 examinations. No extended periods of stagnation are evident, suggesting regular servicing and usage. A buyer should therefore focus on components that commonly show wear after such mileage accumulation. Inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking or loss of damping, examine the brake discs and calipers for scoring or binding, and check the exhaust system for corrosion at the rear subframe and wheel arches. Also verify the condition of the wheel bearings, steering linkage and any structural rust around the chassis rails, as these areas can develop issues even when MOTs record no defects. Overall the data points to a well‑maintained example with a clean defect history, but a physical inspection remains essential to confirm the actual state of these wear‑prone elements before purchase.
