2021 Toyota RAV4 2.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · FP21 CFL

The 2021 Toyota RAV4 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 29 May 2025 at 28,689 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, matching the clean result from 30 May 2024 at 21,752 miles. Two consecutive annual tests with zero advisories indicates the previous keeper maintained the vehicle to a standard that satisfied DVSA examiners on every measured component. The mileage pattern shows light use for a five-year-old vehicle. Between May 2024 and May 2025 the odometer advanced only 6,937 miles, an average of roughly 5,738 miles per year across the car's life. The record contains just two entries with no gaps beyond the expected annual cycle, so no rapid accumulation or unexplained dormant periods appear in the data. Low annual mileage of this order often means consumables such as brake discs, tyres, and suspension bushes have seen limited cyclic loading, though prolonged standing can permit corrosion or flat-spotted tyres unseen in the test bay. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the clean record. The MOT does not assess behind trim or undersealed sections, so structural integrity around sills and subframes warrants a ramp check for early corrosion. Verify the condition of brake calipers and flexible hoses, as low mileage cars can develop seized slides through inactivity rather than wear. Given the absence of any advisories across both tests, no recurring fault trend exists to track. The prudent step remains a pre-purchase examination of suspension bushes, exhaust emissions under load, and tyre sidewall cracking before completion of sale.
