Our Verdict
Proceed with caution and budget for upco
When inspecting this specific RAV4, prioritise a thorough check of the suspension components. The MOT history for this vehicle shows recurring issues with corroded coil springs and deteriorated ball joint dust covers. Ensure that the repairs mentioned in the August 2026 MOT—specifically the nearside rear coil spring and the offside front suspension arm ball joint—have actually been carried out and verified.
You should also ask for evidence of recent brake servicing. The 2026 MOT noted that the parking brake efficiency 'only just met' the requirements, following previous advisories for worn discs and thin pads in 2025. A detailed service history should be requested to confirm that these wear-and-tear items have been addressed beyond the minimum MOT standard.
As a 2231cc diesel model, running costs will be influenced by fuel prices and potential ULEZ/Clean Air Zone charges depending on the engine's Euro standard. Expect moderate fuel economy typical of a large diesel SUV. Insurance groups for this model vary, so obtaining a specific quote is essential.
Maintenance costs may be higher in the short term due to the recent trend of suspension and braking advisories. The estimated annual running cost, covering fuel, tax, insurance, and typical maintenance, is approximately £1,800-£2,400, though this could fluctuate based on driving habits and the frequency of mechanical repairs required.
Focus heavily on the underside of the vehicle. The MOT history for FX63WCD shows a specific pattern of corrosion on the coil springs (both nearside and offside recorded in 2025 and 2026). Check for any signs of further structural or component corrosion that could lead to future failures.
Secondly, inspect the braking system thoroughly. Given the 2026 advisory regarding parking brake efficiency and the 2025 advisories for worn discs and pads, you should test the handbrake's effectiveness and listen for any grinding or squealing from the rear brakes. Finally, check the condition of all tyres; the 2025 record noted cracking, perishing, and wear close to the legal limit on multiple tyres.
This 2013 grey Toyota RAV4 with the 2.2L diesel engine has covered 85,010 miles, which is above the model average of 7,594 miles per year. The MOT history shows a transition from a clean record in 2023 and 2024 to a significant number of advisories and failures in 2025 and 2026. Recent records highlight issues with coil springs, tyre condition, and braking efficiency.
Aggregate data for this model shows an 85.7% MOT pass rate, with common failure points including headlamps, brake discs, and shock absorbers.
