2012 Toyota RAV4 2.2L Diesel · EO62 DMV

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT in May 2026, but the report contains several advisories that indicate a need for immediate maintenance. There is a recurring pattern of suspension deterioration. Rear coil springs were a failure point in 2024, and the most recent test now flags corrosion on the offside front coil spring. This suggests a worsening trend regarding the vehicle's suspension health. The latest inspection also identifies play in the offside front wheel bearing and notes that all four tyres are worn close to the legal limit or worn on the edges. These findings suggest that basic wear-and-tear items have been neglected recently. The mileage is typical for a 14-year-old vehicle. This suggests standard wear on consumables and drivetrain components rather than excessive hard use or issues stemming from long periods of inactivity. A buyer should prioritize a physical inspection of all four tyres to determine how much tread remains. You should also check the suspension springs for heavy corrosion and listen for humming or droning noises during a test drive, which would confirm the failing wheel bearing.
