2018 Toyota RAV4 2.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · FL68 VMM

The 2018 Toyota RAV4 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 27 August 2025 at 29,083 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior annual tests show the same clean outcome. No advisories or mechanical faults appear anywhere in the five-year DVSA history, indicating the vehicle has not developed worsening conditions nor required repeat rectification. Recorded mileage sits at 29,083 miles against an eight-year age, averaging just 3,635 miles per year. The tests trace a steady low-use pattern: 16,083 miles in September 2022, 21,826 miles in September 2023, 25,511 miles in August 2024, and 29,083 miles by August 2025. A two-day gap between the 14 August 2024 failure and 16 August 2024 pass at near-identical mileages (25,497 to 25,511) shows a retest after a minor administrative or non-mechanical issue, with no defects listed on either entry. The sparse, clean record gives little evidence of deferred consumable replacement. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the low mileage and likely prolonged standing periods that accelerate rubber perishing and surface corrosion. The absence of recorded advisories means tyre tread depth, exhaust emissions, and structural integrity have not yet drawn tester concern, but eight years of age warrants checking for rust on chassis members and subframes. Given the fault-free history, previous owners appear to have kept the RAV4 lightly used and presented it for timely annual testing. The 2024 double entry suggests a paperwork or identification mismatch rather than mechanical neglect. Verify service history against the low mileages to confirm fluids and cambelt-type intervals were observed despite limited road use.
