2015 Toyota RAV4 2.0L Petrol · FP65 BWH

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance history indicates a pattern of reactive rather than proactive mechanical care. The most recent test in August 2025 at 95,598 miles passed with an advisory for an offside rear tyre worn close to the legal limit and on the edge. This suggests that while the vehicle meets minimum standards, the owner tends to address consumables only when they approach failure. The overall trend is stable, with no major structural or mechanical failures recorded in the last five years. At 95,598 miles over 11 years, the RAV4 averages approximately 8,700 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK usage for a family SUV. The record shows consistent use, with a 10,000-mile interval between the July 2024 and August 2025 tests. This regular mileage is generally positive for the vehicle as it prevents long periods of standing which can lead to acceleratedated degradation of rubber components and internal corrosion in the braking system. A buyer should scrutinise the suspension and braking systems specifically based on previous advisories. The 2022 test at 71,679 miles flagged worn bushes on both rear suspension arms, and the 2023 test at 81,450 miles noted thin brake pads and pitted front discs. Given that these issues were not explicitly cleared as replaced in subsequent tests, a physical inspection is required to check for play in the suspension geometry and the remaining life of the brake hardware. The uneven wear noted on the rear tyre in 2025 also indicates an alignment issue or a sticking caliper that should be verified to prevent premature tyre failure.
