2012 Toyota RAV-4 2.2L Diesel · GY12 ADZ

This Toyota RAV-4 presents an exceptionally stable roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT on 29 September 2025 at 86,849 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent five-year trend of passing every inspection without a single advisory or failure, indicating a vehicle that has been maintained to a high standard. The mileage pattern is consistent and typical for a 14-year-old vehicle. Between 4 October 2021 at 61,256 miles and 29 September 2025 at 86,849 miles, the car covered 25,593 miles. This averages roughly 6,400 miles per year, suggesting regular use rather than long periods of standing, which helps prevent seals from perishing and brakes from seizing. The absence of any recorded defects over five years is rare for a vehicle of this age. There are no recurring issues with suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake discs mentioned in the DVSA data. The record shows no history of structural corrosion or exhaust emissions failures, which are common failure points for this model. A physical inspection should still focus on age-related wear that MOT testers might overlook if it does not meet the threshold for a failure. Check the condition of the tyre treads and the age of the rubber, as these are consumables not flagged in this clean history. Inspect the underside for surface rust and verify the service history to ensure oil changes align with the steady mileage accumulation.
