2012 Toyota RAV-4 2.2L Diesel · FN12 AEZ

This vehicle presents a stable and clean roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT on 12 August 2025 at 79,482 miles passed without any defects or advisories, indicating the car remains in a condition that meets current DVSA standards. The lack of recorded failures or advisory notes across the last three years suggests a consistent level of maintenance. The mileage is notably low for a 2012 model, averaging roughly 5,677 miles per year. There was a significant increase in usage between August 2024 and August 2025, where the odometer rose from 66,253 to 79,482 miles. This jump of over 13,000 miles in a single year contrasts with the previous period between June 2023 and August 2024, which saw only 10,561 miles added. The record shows a failure on 28 August 2024, though the data lists no specific defects. This likely indicates a clerical error or a minor issue resolved immediately, as the vehicle passed two days later at 66,253 miles. Because the MOT history is unusually clean and devoid of common age-related advisories, the record does not highlight specific mechanical weaknesses. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components that degrade regardless of mileage. Low-use vehicles often suffer from perished rubber suspension bushes, cracked tyre sidewalls, and brake calipers that may seize due to inactivity. Check for surface corrosion on the chassis and ensure the engine oil and coolant show no signs of contamination, as long periods of standing can lead to moisture buildup in the system.
