2021 TOYOTA RAV42.5L Hybrid Electric (Clean)

The 2021 Toyota RAV4 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 23 January 2026 at 42,714 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three preceding annual tests also passed cleanly. The vehicle shows no worsening faults, recurring advisories, or structural concerns across its five-year MOT history. Annual mileage sits at roughly 8,500 miles, typical for a vehicle of this age. The records show 21,573 miles on 29 January 2024, 32,624 miles on 27 January 2025, and 42,714 miles on 23 January 2026, giving a consistent 10,000 to 11,000 miles per year between tests. The data is sparse but clean, with only a duplicate entry on 29 January 2024 where the car failed and passed on the same day with no defects logged, indicating an administrative re-test rather than a mechanical issue. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the unblemished record. At 42,714 miles the original suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs will be approaching their mid-life wear threshold even without advisories raised. The absence of flagged corrosion or exhaust emissions faults suggests the previous owner kept basic upkeep current, though standing periods common with lower mileage can accelerate tyre sidewall cracking and brake caliper seizing. Verify the genuine condition of consumables such as tyres, wiper blades, and fluid levels during a viewing. Confirm the January 2024 duplicate failure was clerical by checking the DVSA gateway, then assess underside structural integrity and drivetrain mounts for any latent wear not captured in the pass results.
