TOYOTA RAV42014 · 2.0L Diesel

The 2014 Toyota RAV4 demonstrates a stable roadworthiness record, with the most recent 2025-07-05 MOT at 127,232 miles resulting in a pass and no defects. Prior tests from 2024-06-07 (111,430 miles) and 2023-02-09 (95,805 miles) also passed without issues, suggesting consistent maintenance. A single failure in 2024-05-25 (110,939 miles) recorded no defects, indicating either a minor technicality or a resolved issue. The absence of recurring mechanical faults in the last three years implies the vehicle has been well-maintained, though the gap between the 2025 test and today’s date of 2026-07-18 raises questions about its current condition without further inspection. The vehicle’s mileage of 127,232 miles over 12 years aligns with an average of ~10,600 miles annually, typical for its age. However, a notable acceleration in usage occurred between 2023 and 2025, with 31,427 miles added in 24 months, compared to 37,467 miles over the preceding four years (2019–2023). This suggests increased wear on components such as suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs, which are sensitive to high-mileage operation. The MOT history lacks detailed defect reports, but the lack of advisories in recent tests implies no critical issues were flagged during routine checks. A buyer should prioritize an in-person inspection of the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, given the vehicle’s age and mileage. Brake components, including calipers and discs, should be checked for uneven wear or binding, as these can develop under heavy use. Structural integrity and corrosion, particularly in underbody areas, warrant scrutiny, as rust can progress unnoticed in older vehicles. While the MOT record shows no immediate risks, the absence of detailed defect notes means a physical assessment is essential to confirm the car’s mechanical soundness.
