2013 Toyota RAV4 2.2L Diesel · GK63 YCV

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean recent history. The most recent MOT test on 1 October 2025 at 20,606 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of passing tests without advisories or failures since late 2022, suggesting the vehicle has transitioned from a period of minor consumable issues into a period of consistent maintenance. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 2013 vehicle, averaging approximately 1,585 miles per year. The records show a steady, incremental climb from 7,377 miles in September 2016 to the current 20,606 miles. While this low usage suggests minimal mechanical wear on the drivetrain and suspension components, such long intervals between miles can sometimes lead to secondary issues like perished rubber seals or battery degradation. The data shows no significant gaps in testing, with annual inspections maintained throughout the recorded period. A buyer should focus on the implications of the 2022 test at 17,206 miles, where the tester flagged both offside and nearside front inner tyres as being worn close to the legal limit. This specific advisory suggests uneven tyre wear, which often points to alignment issues or worn suspension bushes. Although the 2023, 2024, and 2025 tests show no further tyre or alignment defects, a physical inspection of the front suspension geometry and tyre tread patterns is necessary to ensure these issues were fully rectified and not merely masked by new rubber. The 2017 test at 9,794 miles noted a fault with the tyre pressure monitoring system warning lamp. While this was resolved to achieve a pass, it is worth verifying that the system remains fully operational during a test drive. Given the low mileage, the vehicle has likely spent significant time stationary; therefore, checking for any signs of fluid leaks or age-related corrosion on the underside would be a prudent step to complement the clean MOT history.
