2021 Toyota RAV4 2.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · GJ71 LFZ

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness based on a remarkably clean MOT history. The most recent test conducted on 29 August 2025 at 70,373 miles passed with no defects or advisories. This follows a clean pass in August 2024, indicating a stable maintenance trend where the vehicle consistently meets minimum safety standards without recurring mechanical or structural failures. The mileage profile reflects heavy usage for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 14,000 miles per annum. Between the August 2024 and August 2025 tests, the car covered 12,970 miles, a consistent rate of accumulation that suggests regular motorway or long-distance use, which is often preferable for drivetrain components than frequent short city driving. The lack of any advisories despite this high mileage suggests the previous owners were proactive in addressing wear before it escalated into failures. Given the high annual mileage, a prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on components subject to accelerated wear and tear. A close check of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers is necessary to identify any signs of premature fatigue or leaking. The braking system should be evaluated for disc thickness and uneven wear, as the high mileage puts significant stress on the pads and calipers. Furthermore, inspect the tyre tread depth and sidewall integrity to ensure they are consistent with the recorded mileage. While the MOT record shows no structural corrosion or exhaust issues, the high mileage justifies a thorough check of the undercarriage for any fluid leaks or play that a standard test might miss. The data points to a well-maintained vehicle that has maintained its mechanical integrity despite heavy use.
