TOYOTA RAV42011 · 2.2L DIESEL

The 2011 Toyota RAV4 passed its most recent MOT on 2026-06-01 with no defects recorded, indicating that the vehicle is currently roadworthy. The maintenance trend appears to be improving, as the issues noted in the 2025 tests, such as corroded coil springs and suspension components, were resolved, and the vehicle passed without any advisories in the latest test. The recorded mileage of 71,733 miles over approximately 15 years suggests a low annual mileage of around 4,782 miles per year. This low mileage could indicate lighter use or periods of inactivity, which may have contributed to the corrosion issues observed in the suspension and sub-frame. There are no significant gaps or rapid mileage accumulations noted in the provided MOT history, and the mileage pattern is consistent with the age of the vehicle. A potential buyer should pay particular attention to the suspension and structural components, given the recurring corrosion advisories. In the 2025 and 2024 tests, both the nearside and offside rear coil springs, front and rear sub-frames, and suspension arms were noted for corrosion, though not seriously weakened. These areas should be inspected for any signs of further deterioration, as ongoing exposure to the elements can lead to more severe corrosion over time. Additionally, the nearside rear anti-roll bar was flagged in 2025 for being likely to become detached, which, although resolved, warrants a thorough check to ensure it remains secure. The brake components, including the brake pipes and hoses, also showed slight corrosion in 2023, so these should be examined for any signs of wear or damage.
