2020 Toyota RAV4 2.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · GU70 ABV

The Toyota RAV4 presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on DVSA records, with the most recent test on 22 April 2025 at 45,113 miles returning a clean pass and no defects. That examination predates the current date of 17 July 2026 by fifteen months, meaning a fresh MOT is now overdue. Prior to that, the vehicle showed a recurring pattern of same-day fail and pass entries in April 2023 and April 2024, yet each failure carried no listed mechanical defects. This anomaly suggests administrative or non-mechanical rejection rather than worsening condition, and the trend resolves to a straightforward pass in the latest check. Mileage accumulation aligns with typical use for a 2020 registration. The odometer read 31,196 miles at the 26 April 2023 test, rose to 36,993 miles by 19 April 2024, and reached 45,113 miles by April 2025. That equates to roughly 5,800 miles in the first interval and 8,120 in the second, producing an overall average near 7,500 miles per year. No excessive gaps or rapid accumulation appear; the sparse but consistent annual records indicate regular testing discipline from the previous keeper. A buyer should still commission an independent physical inspection despite the clean advisory sheet. The MOT history flags no corrosion, suspension bush wear, binding calipers, or exhaust issues, but the twin 2023 and 2024 failures with zero defects demand scrutiny of the original failure notices to rule out omitted data. Technicians ought to examine brake disc thickness, tyre tread depth, and wiper operation, as these consumables fall outside long-term guarantee. The structural integrity remains unchallenged by the record, yet a six-year-old vehicle benefits from underside checks for early rust.
