Our Verdict
Recommended as a solid hybrid choice, pr
Focus your attention on the vehicle's maintenance records to see if the advisories from 2024 and 2026 were acted upon. Specifically, check if the front suspension arm bushings and the foggy nearside headlight were repaired. Given the repeated tyre advisories, it is worth checking the current tread depth and wheel alignment to ensure there is no uneven wear pattern.
Verify the hybrid system's health through a Toyota-approved health check. Negotiate the price based on the immediate need for new tyres or suspension work if the 2024 and 2026 advisories remain unresolved.
The 2.5L hybrid powertrain is designed for efficiency, offering a balance between performance and fuel economy. As a Euro 6 AP vehicle, it meets stringent emissions standards, which helps keep road tax costs competitive for its size and engine capacity.
Insurance groups for the RAV4 are generally moderate, though this varies by driver profile. Maintenance costs are typically stable for this model, though the estimated annual running cost—including fuel, tax, insurance, and routine servicing—is likely to fall between £1,400 and £1,800.
Carefully inspect the nearside rear tyre for the cut noted in the January 2026 MOT. Additionally, check the front suspension for any play or noise, as both the nearside and offside front suspension arm bushings were flagged as worn in December 2024.
Examine the nearside front headlight for condensation or fogging, as this was an advisory in January 2024 and is listed as a top failure reason for this model across aggregate data. Finally, check the rear brakes for any signs of sticking or binding, referencing the 2024 advisory regarding the nearside rear service brake.
This 2021 white Toyota RAV4 Hybrid has recorded 59,755 miles as of its last MOT in January 2026. While it has passed all three recorded MOT tests, the history shows consistent advisories regarding tyre condition, suspension bushings, and a foggy headlight. It represents a typical example of the model with mileage slightly above the aggregate average.
The RAV4 maintains a strong reliability reputation, evidenced by an 85.7% MOT pass rate across a large sample size of 114,439 vehicles.
