Our Verdict
This 2012 Toyota RAV-4 petrol presents a remarkably clean recent MOT record, showing four consecutive passes with zero defects recorded since April 2022. With a mileage of 104,372 miles recorded in April 2025, it represents a solid and dependable prospect for prospective buyers.
When inspecting this 2012 RAV-4, examine the paperwork to verify the context behind the single same-day fail and pass recorded on 28 April 2022. Check the physical condition of the grey bodywork and interior against the recorded mileage of 104,372 miles from April 2025. Verify all auxiliary electrics, four-wheel-drive functionality if fitted, and ensure that servicing intervals have been adhered to independently of the MOT tests.
Running costs for the 2.0-litre petrol variant of the 2012 Toyota RAV-4 will reflect its engine size and traditional SUV profile, with fuel economy typical of a naturally aspirated petrol 4x4 of this era. Vehicle Excise Duty (VED) will apply based on its May 2012 registration date, and insurance will fall into a moderate group depending on the driver's profile. Maintenance expenses should remain manageable provided routine servicing is kept up to date.
Pay close attention to the areas that led to the same-day failure on 28 April 2022 at 84,096 miles, checking the braking system, suspension components, and tyre wear thoroughly. Inspect the underbody for signs of corrosion or off-road wear, particularly around the suspension mountings and exhaust system. Given that the 2023, 2024, and 2025 tests recorded zero defects, verify that recent wear-and-tear items have not been overlooked.
This grey, 2.0-litre petrol Toyota RAV-4, first registered in May 2012, shows a consistent testing history with five recorded tests between April 2022 and April 2025. Although it recorded a single test failure on 28 April 2022 at 84,096 miles, it was rectified on the same day and subsequently passed. The subsequent three MOT tests in 2023, 2024, and 2025 all passed cleanly with no advisories or defects noted.
No aggregate reliability statistics are available for this specific model configuration, though the tested vehicle demonstrates a consistent string of recent clean MOT passes.
