2015 Toyota RAV4 2.2L Diesel · FX65 LWT

The Toyota RAV4’s MOT history presents a stable roadworthiness profile, with the most recent test in December 2025 at 71,129 miles passing without defects—a strong indicator of consistent upkeep. The sole failure in December 2024 at 65,645 miles was an administrative issue with no mechanical faults recorded, suggesting the vehicle met all safety and emissions standards at the time. There is no evidence of recurring advisories or defects, which would otherwise signal neglect or escalating wear. The absence of defects across five tests spanning nearly two years implies either meticulous maintenance or a vehicle that has aged well with minimal issues. Mileage accumulation aligns closely with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging around 6,466 miles per year—a figure that suggests neither excessive wear from heavy use nor prolonged disuse. The gaps between tests are standard, with the longest interval between January 2024 (60,781 miles) and December 2024 (65,645 miles) covering roughly 11 months, and the most recent tests in 2025 occurring just over a year apart. There is no sudden spike or drop in mileage that would raise concerns about abuse or storage neglect, reinforcing the impression of steady, moderate use. Given the clean MOT record, a buyer should still verify key structural and mechanical components in person. While no defects have been logged, suspension components—such as bushings, coil springs, and ball joints—should be checked for wear, particularly if the vehicle has been driven on uneven roads. Brakes, including calipers, discs, and pads, should be inspected for uneven wear or binding, even though no advisories have been raised. Structural integrity, especially around wheel arches and sills, should be examined for corrosion, as Toyota RAV4s of this generation can develop surface rust in high-salt or wet climates. Exhaust emissions and fluid leaks should also be visually confirmed, as these are not always caught in MOT tests unless they directly affect safety or emissions compliance.
