2012 Toyota RAV-4 2.2L Diesel · CX12 YRR

The 2012 Toyota RAV-4 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 4 November 2025 at 87,858 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three prior annual tests from 2022 to 2024 also passed cleanly. The only blemish is a failed test on 18 October 2024 at 84,338 miles that the DVSA logged with no defects recorded, reversed by a pass six days later on 24 October 2024 at the same mileage. This suggests an administrative or measurement discrepancy at the testing station rather than a mechanical fault on the vehicle. Recorded mileage sits at 87,858 against an age of roughly fourteen years, equating to about 6,276 miles per year, which is typical for the model's age. The odometer moved from 74,246 in October 2022 to 79,309 in October 2023, then 84,338 by October 2024, and 87,858 by November 2025. Annual accumulation held near 5,000 to 5,500 miles with no rapid spikes or unexplained gaps. The clean advisory columns across all five entries show the previous keeper kept consumables and structural items within limits. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the unbroken clean record. The MOT dataset shows no flagged corrosion, suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions issues, but a Toyota of this age can hide surface rust on sills and subframes that testers did not record as advisory. Check the underbody for structural integrity and confirm the coil springs and binding calipers are free of wear. The repeated passes with zero advisories imply the former owner addressed wear before each test. Verify service history to confirm fluids, timing chain, and drivetrain components received interval care matching the low yearly mileage.
