2012 Toyota RAV-4 2.2L Diesel · BK12 ABN

This Toyota RAV-4 presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 21 October 2025 at 127,359 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes over the last three years, indicating a vehicle that has been kept in a condition that meets minimum legal standards without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage is typical for a 14 year old vehicle, averaging roughly 9,097 miles per year. The distance covered between the October 2023 test at 117,192 miles and the October 2024 test at 121,247 miles shows a steady usage pattern of approximately 4,000 miles per annum. The increase to 127,359 miles by October 2025 suggests a slight uptick in annual usage, but the accumulation remains linear and predictable. The absence of advisories across multiple years is unusual for a vehicle of this age and mileage. While the record shows no failures for suspension bushes, brake discs, or structural corrosion, the lack of any flagged consumable wear suggests a very disciplined maintenance regime or a highly lenient testing history. The failures recorded on 19 October 2023 and 21 October 2025 were resolved immediately on the same day, which is common for minor administrative or quick-fix issues. A buyer should still conduct a physical inspection of the underbody for surface rust and check the condition of the coil springs and shock absorbers. Given the mileage, these components often degrade even if they pass a basic MOT. Verifying service records for oil changes and transmission fluid flushes will confirm if the mechanical care matches the clean MOT history.
