Our Verdict
This 2022 Toyota RAV4 is a strong candidate for a buyer seeking a modern hybrid with a clean initial MOT record. Given its low mileage and recent pass, it represents a well-preserved example of the current generation model.
When inspecting this vehicle, focus on the hybrid battery health and the condition of the regenerative braking system, which can sometimes show signs of surface corrosion if the car has been parked for extended periods. Even with a clean MOT history, ensure you verify the full service history to confirm that Toyota's scheduled maintenance intervals have been met to maintain the manufacturer's warranty.
Negotiate based on the fact that this vehicle is still relatively young and should have significant life left in its original tyres and brake components. Check the bodywork for any signs of parking damage or stone chips, which are common on vehicles of this age, and ensure all electronic infotainment systems are functioning as expected.
As a 2.5-litre hybrid, this RAV4 benefits from competitive fuel economy in urban environments due to its self-charging electric motor. You should expect lower VED (Road Tax) costs compared to non-hybrid petrol SUVs of a similar engine capacity.
Insurance groups for the RAV4 are generally moderate, though premiums will vary based on your personal driving history and location. Annual maintenance costs should remain relatively low for the next few years, provided the vehicle is serviced according to Toyota's official schedule.
Although the May 2025 MOT was a clean pass, always perform a visual check of the tyres for uneven wear, which can indicate alignment issues. Inspect the underside of the vehicle for any signs of impact damage or scrapes, particularly around the plastic undertrays common on modern SUVs.
Test the hybrid system by ensuring the transition between electric and petrol power is smooth and that the dashboard displays no warning lights. Check that all safety features, including parking sensors and cameras, are operational, as these can be expensive to calibrate if faulty.
Registered in October 2022, this grey Toyota RAV4 Hybrid has covered just 12,872 miles as of its May 2025 MOT test. The vehicle passed its first MOT inspection with no defects or advisories recorded. Its low mileage and recent clean inspection suggest it has seen relatively light use since its first registration.
The Toyota RAV4 is generally regarded as a robust vehicle, though no specific aggregate MOT data is available for this exact configuration.
