2015 Toyota RAV4 Icon D-4D Auto 2.2L Diesel · AV03 ENO

This Toyota Rav4 has maintained an exceptionally clean MOT record over its recent history, with the most recent test on April 3, 2026 , at 134,620 miles showing no defects at all. The trend is stable—no advisories, no failures, and no recurring issues across the four recorded tests since August 2022. The absence of even minor faults in the latest entries suggests either meticulous servicing or, more likely, a vehicle that has been well-maintained by owners who addressed wear before it reached critical thresholds. The last three tests, spanning from November 2023 to January 2025 , all passed without comment, reinforcing the impression of a reliably cared-for example—though the 15-month gap between the January 2025 and April 2026 tests is unusually long for a vehicle of this age and mileage, raising questions about whether it has been in regular use or simply not tested recently. The mileage accumulation is aggressive for a vehicle now over 11 years old , averaging 12,238 miles per year —well above the UK fleet average. The jump from 95,194 miles in August 2022 to 121,174 miles by January 2025 (a 25,980-mile increase in just 2 years, 5 months ) indicates either heavy commercial use or sustained high-mileage driving. The most recent 13,446 miles covered between January 2025 and April 2026 suggest the car remains active, though the lack of a test in that period is unusual for a vehicle with this kind of mileage. Such rapid mileage buildup typically accelerates wear on suspension components (ball joints, anti-roll bars, coil springs), brake systems (pads, discs, calipers), and drivetrain elements (CV joints, differential seals). The fact that no issues have surfaced in MOTs despite this suggests either proactive maintenance or a particularly robust example—but a buyer should verify whether servicing aligns with the mileage demands. Given the high mileage and the absence of any recorded advisories, a prospective buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of suspension geometry and bushings , particularly the rear trailing arms and subframe mounts , which are common failure points on this model at this mileage. The brake system —including disc thickness, caliper operation, and brake fluid condition —should be checked, as binding or uneven wear often precedes MOT failures. Exhaust emissions may now be borderline given the age, so a pre-purchase emissions test could be prudent. While the MOT history is flawless, the steering rack, driveshafts, and wheel bearings are high-wear areas that don’t always trigger MOT concerns until they’re critical. Finally, the underbody and wheel arches should be inspected for corrosion, especially if the vehicle has been driven on salted or rural roads, as rust can compromise structural integrity without showing up in routine tests. The clean MOT record is a strong starting point, but the mileage and testing gaps demand cautious scrutiny. A buyer should confirm whether the vehicle has been serviced to manufacturer specifications and whether any advisories were issued outside of MOTs—particularly for items like tyre condition, fluid levels, and electrical systems , which aren’t always captured in the official test. The lack of recorded faults doesn’t guarantee the absence of hidden wear, so a pre-purchase inspection by a qualified mechanic is strongly advised.
