2018 Toyota RAV4 2.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · GU68 HUP

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a consistently stable maintenance trend. The most recent inspection conducted in January 2026 at 40,490 miles resulted in a pass, indicating that all mechanical and safety systems currently meet UK regulatory standards. While a failure was recorded in August 2024, the vehicle passed the subsequent test just three days later, suggesting the owner was proactive in addressing any immediate re-test requirements. The mileage profile is notably low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,000 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with an interval of roughly 3,000 miles between the 2023 and 2024 tests, and another 5,775 miles covered since. This low annual mileage typically implies less strain on the drivetrain and suspension components compared to average-mileage vehicles. However, long periods of standing can sometimes lead to degradation of rubber components or brake corrosion, which are not always captured in a standard MOT test. Given the clean history devoid of recurring advisories, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on components affected by low-mileage use. Check the tyres for flat spotting or sidew cracking and inspect the brake discs for surface pitting or rust from sitting for extended periods. Since the record does not flag structural corrosion or suspension bushing wear, the mechanical integrity of the chassis appears sound, but a manual check of fluid levels and seals remains necessary to ensure the vehicle has not suffered from neglect during periods of inactivity..
