Our Verdict
A strong recommendation for buyers seeki
When purchasing this Black Edition, prioritise verifying the full service history to ensure Toyota's hybrid health checks have been performed, which is essential for maintaining the hybrid battery warranty. As this is the 4x2 CVT variant, ensure the transmission shifts smoothly during a test drive.
Given the vehicle's low mileage and the fact that the most recent MOT was passed in April 2026, there is little immediate cause for concern. However, use the lack of recorded defects to negotiate a fair market price based on its below-average usage compared to other 2021 models.
Equipped with a 2.5L hybrid engine and Euro 6 AP status, this vehicle is ULEZ compliant and offers a balance of power and efficiency. Fuel economy is typically strong for a vehicle of this size, and Toyota's hybrid systems are generally cost-effective to maintain.
Annual costs will include road tax based on its hybrid status and insurance for a mid-to-high sized SUV. Including fuel, tax, insurance, and scheduled servicing, the estimated annual running cost is moderate for its class.
Inspect the registration plates carefully, as these are cited as a top failure reason in aggregate data for this model. Check the black paintwork for any signs of swirling or scratches, which are more prominent on this specific colour finish.
Review the 2026 MOT advisory regarding items removed from the driver's view to ensure the dashboard and windscreen area are now clear. While the MOT history is clean, a physical inspection of the tyres and brake pads is recommended to ensure they match the low recorded mileage.
This 2021 Black Edition RAV4 Hybrid has recorded 31,510 miles as of its April 2026 MOT, placing it well below the model's average annual mileage of 9,237. The MOT history is consistent, with three passes and no recorded defects across 2024 and 2025, and only one minor advisory in 2026. It represents a low-usage example of a model that maintains a high aggregate pass rate of 93.1%.
The RAV4 demonstrates strong reliability across the board, with an average MOT pass rate of 93.1% based on 785 analysed vehicles.
