2011 TOYOTA RAV-42.2L Diesel

This vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 24 March 2026 at 215,724 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to February 2023, suggesting the car has been kept in a condition that meets minimum legal standards without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage is high for a 2011 model, averaging over 14,000 miles per year. Between February 2023 and March 2026, the odometer rose from 199,692 to 215,724 miles, showing a steady usage pattern of roughly 5,000 to 6,000 miles per year in the most recent period. A strange entry exists on 22 February 2025 where the car failed and passed on the same day at 210,330 miles without any defects listed, which likely indicates a clerical error by the testing station rather than a mechanical fault. Despite the clean MOT history, the high total mileage necessitates a rigorous physical inspection of high-wear components. The record does not flag issues, but a vehicle with 215,724 miles typically requires scrutiny of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers for fatigue. You should check for any signs of oil leaks from the engine or gearbox and inspect the brake discs for excessive lip wear or corrosion. Given the age and mileage, structural integrity is the primary concern. Check the underbody and sills for corrosion, as MOT testers may overlook minor surface rust that could progress into structural failure. Verify the service history to ensure the timing belt and water pump have been replaced according to manufacturer intervals, as the MOT record only confirms roadworthiness and not preventative mechanical maintenance.
