2022 Toyota RAV4 Design Phev Auto 2.5L Hybrid electric · AF22 AFJ

The RAV4 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 11 March 2026 at 30,273 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded. A failed test logged on the same date at 30,238 miles showed no defects, indicating an administrative or procedural failure rather than a mechanical fault, and the vehicle was promptly certified later that day. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical level for a four-year-old vehicle. The record shows 24,946 miles at the 21 March 2025 test, rising to 30,273 by March 2026, a 5,327-mile annual increase that aligns with the roughly 7,568-mile yearly average implied by the odometer. The history is sparse with only two test years captured, and both passes carried no advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions. Given the clean record, a buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity and consumable items not always caught in a pass. The absence of advisories does not exempt the hybrid drivetrain, coil springs, or binding calipers from wear invisible at a single test. Verify the 11 March 2026 failure cause with DVSA to confirm no suppressed defect, then check tyre tread and wiper blades for age-related degradation from low-use standing.
