2017 Toyota RAV4 2.0L Diesel · 977 EL

The 2017 Toyota RAV4 presents a clean roadworthiness status with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 20 March 2026 at 113,627 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and this follows four consecutive annual passes with zero advisories. The vehicle shows no worsening mechanical condition across the five-year DVLA record. Annual mileage averages 12,625 miles, which sits high for a nine-year-old SUV and implies sustained motorway or business use rather than short urban trips. The record shows steady accumulation: 70,795 miles in March 2022, 82,151 in March 2023, 92,320 in March 2024, 103,017 in March 2025, and 113,627 in March 2026. No gaps appear between tests; the owner kept the MOT cycle unbroken and the clean sheets suggest consumables such as tyres, brake discs, and suspension bushes were renewed before each examination. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion, as the MOT record lists no advisories yet cannot confirm hidden rust on sills or subframes. At 113,627 miles the drivetrain and suspension components carry nine years of load; the tester recorded no binding calipers or worn coil springs, but these items warrant physical checks given the high annual use. The absence of any failed tests or recorded faults points to disciplined upkeep by the previous keeper. Verify service history matches the mileage increments and confirm genuine Toyota parts were used on the braking and suspension systems before purchase.
