2011 Toyota RAV4 XT-R D-CAT Auto 2.2L Heavy oil · DXZ 9250

The most recent MOT, carried out on 2 March 2026 at 76,252 mi, was a clean pass with no defects recorded. This mirrors the previous four MOTs (2024‑2021), each of which also passed without any advisory or failure notes. The pattern is therefore completely stable – there are no recurring or emerging issues evident from the MOT data. Mileage-wise the RAV4 has logged just over 76,000 mi in roughly 15 years, which works out to about 5,000 mi per year. That is well below the typical average for a vehicle of this age, suggesting either light, gentle use or periods where the car has been largely stationary. Low mileage can mean reduced wear on consumables such as brakes, tyres and suspension components, but it can also mask age‑related deterioration that occurs regardless of distance (e.g., rubber cracking, corrosion, seals hardening). Because the mileage signal is ambiguous, it should be treated as a neutral indicator rather than a guarantee of condition. Overall the MOT trend is neither worsening nor improving – it is simply flat, with no recorded defects to point to any specific problem area. The lack of advisories means that, at the times of testing, the vehicle met the basic safety and emissions standards. However, MOTs only check a snapshot of the car’s condition; they do not reveal hidden wear that may develop between tests.
