2021 Toyota RAV4 2.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · BS05 SMS

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistently clean MOT history. The most recent test conducted on 18 August 2025 at 26,433 miles passed with no defects or advisories. This indicates a stable maintenance trend where the vehicle meets all safety and environmental standards without any history of mechanical failure or structural degradation over the last two testing cycles. The mileage profile is notably low for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,287 miles per year. Between the August 2024 test at 21,830 miles and the August 2025 test at 26,433 miles, the car covered only additional 4,603 miles. This low usage suggests light operation, which typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and suspension components, though it can occasionally lead to minor issues if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. Since the MOT record shows no history of failing brakes, suspension, or structural integrity, a physical inspection should focus on components affected by low-mileage use. Check the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting, which often occurs when cars are parked for long intervals. Inspect the tyres for uneven wear or flat spotting and verify that the rubber components in the suspension and bushings have not begun to crack due to the age of the vehicle.
