2011 Toyota RAV-4 2.2L Diesel · YB11 AAE

This Toyota RAV-4 presents a stable and exceptionally clean roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT on 26 October 2024 at 59,068 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to March 2021, indicating a vehicle that has been maintained to a high standard and has avoided the common degradation typically seen in fifteen year old vehicles. The mileage is notably low for the age of the car, averaging roughly 3,938 miles per year. Between May 2021 and October 2024, the vehicle covered 8,925 miles, showing a steady and light usage pattern. There are no erratic jumps in mileage or suspicious regressions in the data. Such low usage suggests the car has not been subjected to heavy commuting or long-distance wear, though it can sometimes indicate periods of inactivity. Despite the flawless MOT record, a buyer should focus on components that degrade regardless of mileage. Rubber elements such as suspension bushes, engine mounts, and tyre sidewalls can perish over fifteen years even if the tread remains legal. The lack of recorded corrosion in the MOT history is positive, but a physical inspection of the underbody and sills is still necessary to ensure no surface rust has developed. Check for signs of brake disc corrosion or binding calipers, which often affect low-mileage vehicles that spend long periods stationary. Verify the condition of the battery and all fluid levels to ensure the car has not suffered from neglect during periods of low use. Given the clean history, any current mechanical issues would likely be related to age-related rubber degradation rather than systemic failure or poor maintenance.
