2014 Toyota RAV4 2.2L Diesel · CV14 SXC

The vehicle remains in a roadworthy state, showing a stable maintenance trend over the last three years. The most recent test on 26 February 2026 at 136,912 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. While the record shows an initial failure on that same date, the immediate pass suggests a minor issue or a paperwork-related failure that was rectified prior to the retest, rather than a systemic mechanical failure or structural weakness. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a 12-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 11,400 miles per year. Between March 2023 at 91,395 miles and March 2025 at 118,112 miles, the car covered 26,717 miles, indicating a slightly higher rate of use during that period. The 18,800 miles covered between 2025 and early 2026 shows the vehicle is still in regular use, which is generally beneficial for maintaining seals and preventing the degradation of rubber components associated with long periods of standing. Because the MOT history is clean of recurring advisories or structural faults, the buyer should focus the physical inspection on high-wear items that the MOT does not test annually. Inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of cracking or fatigue, common on RAV4 of this mileage. Check the brake discs for uneven wear or the calipers for binding, and examine the chassis for surface corrosion, particularly around the sills and wheel arches where rust tends to accumulate over a decade.
