Our Verdict
A solid option for those seeking a larger diesel SUV, provided the service history matches the recent MOT trends. The recent clean MOT history suggests the vehicle has been kept in a roadworthy state during its higher-mileage years.
When viewing this 2.2L diesel RAV4, your priority should be verifying the service intervals. While the MOT records are clean for the last three years, the MOT cannot confirm if the oil and filters have been changed regularly, which is critical for high-mileage diesel engines.
Negotiate based on the mileage; at over 100,000 miles, you should check for signs of wear in the suspension and clutch. Ask the seller for a stamped service book to complement the positive MOT trend seen from 97,080 miles onwards.
As a 2231cc diesel, this RAV4 is designed for longer motorway journeys where it will achieve its best fuel economy. However, buyers should be mindful of potential ULEZ or Clean Air Zone charges depending on the specific emissions standard of this 2013 model.
Insurance groups for this vehicle typically sit in the mid-range, and while diesel parts can be more expensive, the Toyota brand generally commands predictable maintenance costs. Expect an annual running cost that reflects its size and engine displacement.
Focus your inspection on the underside and suspension components. Although the 2023 failure was resolved, the transition from 92,000 to 103,000 miles is a period where wear items like brake pads, discs, and tyres often require attention.
Given the diesel engine size, listen for any unusual knocking or vibrations during a test drive. Check the service history specifically for DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) maintenance, as high-mileage diesel SUVs can face issues if they have only been used for short urban trips.
This 2013 Toyota RAV4, finished in red, has covered 103,057 miles since its first registration in September 2013. The MOT history shows a consistent pattern of testing, with the most recent three tests passing without any recorded defects. While it experienced a failure in December 2023 at 92,720 miles, the vehicle has since cleared several inspections without issue.
No aggregate reliability data is currently available for the Toyota RAV4 to provide a comparative statistical benchmark.
