2021 Toyota RAV4 Dynamic Phev Auto 2.5L Hybrid electric · EO71 VLK

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean mechanical history across its recorded tests. The most recent inspection on 26 September 2025 at 17,148 miles resulted in a pass with only a minor advisory regarding a cut on the nearside front outer tyre. This defect did not reach the structural cords, indicating a surface injury rather than immediate mechanical failure, and the vehicle maintained its status from the previous test. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,430 miles annually. Between the October 2024 test at 13,678 miles and the September 2025 test at 17,148 miles, the car covered only 3,470 miles. This low usage suggests light operation, which typically preserves high-wear components like suspension bushes and drivetrain assemblies, though such low mileage can occasionally lead to flat-spotting or brake corrosion if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. A buyer should inspect the nearside front tyre to ensure the previously noted cut has not progressed into a structural sidew failure over time. Given the low annual mileage, a physical check of the brake discs and calipers is necessary to rule out surface rust or seizing from infrequent use. The buyer should also verify the condition of rubber components in the suspension for cracking, as age-related degradation can occur independently of low mileage on older-generation hybrid vehicles.
