TOYOTA RAV4 DESIGN PHEV AUTO2021 · 2.5L Hybrid Electric (Clean)

The vehicle maintains a high standard of roadworthiness, evidenced by a clean MOT history. The most recent test conducted in February 2026 at 29,119 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating a stable maintenance trend. This consistency follows a previous successful pass in December 2024, suggesting that the vehicle has been operating within expected parameters without recurring mechanical failures. The recorded mileage is significantly low for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,824 miles per year. Between the December 2024 test and the February 2026 test, the car covered only 7,906 miles, reflecting infrequent use or short-distance commuting. While low mileage generally implies less wear on drivetrain components, suspension bushes, and brake assemblies, it can occasionally lead to flat-spotting tyres or brake corrosion if the vehicle has sat stationary for extended periods. Because the MOT record shows no advisories or past faults, a physical inspection should focus on the risks associated with low-mileage hybrids. Vehicles that sit for long intervals can develop corro brake discs or seized calipers due to lack of use. A buyer should also inspect the tyres for sidewall cracking and age-related rubber degradation despite the tread depth. Checking the high-voltage battery health and ensuring fluid levels are correct is vital to confirm the low usage pattern has not resulted in neglected service intervals.
