2020 TOYOTA RAV42.5L Hybrid Electric (Clean)

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a clear shift toward deferred consumable component replacement. While the most recent test in June 2025 at 70,338 miles passed, the tester flagged multiple minor defects that were absent in the previous year. This indicates that while the structural and core mechanical integrity appears stable, the wear items are now reaching the end of their functional life and require immediate attention to prevent future failures. The mileage progression is consistent with typical annual-use patterns, averaging approximately 11,700 miles per year. The vehicle travelled from 46,706 miles in May 2023 to 62,125 miles in May 2024, followed by another 8,213 miles before the June 2025 test. This steady accumulation suggests the car is used regularly rather than sitting stationary for long periods, which is generally beneficial for the preservation of seals and the prevention of dry degradation of rubber components. A buyer must prioritise a physical inspection of the braking system and tyres, as the June 2025 record noted thin pads on both the nearside and offside rear axles. The advisory regarding a perished or damaged nearside rear tyre suggests the rubber is beginning to age or crack despite the remaining tread depth. Additionally, the previous cut on the nearside front outer tyre in 2024 indicates the vehicle may be subject to curb damage, necessitating a check for internal sidewall deformation or alignment issues.
