2015 Toyota RAV4 2.2L Diesel · GY15 ACV

This Toyota RAV4 presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean bill of health in its most recent inspection. The test on 30 May 2025 at 85,801 miles passed without any defects or advisories. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes, suggesting the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that avoids the common degradation seen in cars of this vintage. The mileage is typical for an eleven year old vehicle, averaging roughly 7,800 miles per year. The distance covered between the January 2023 test at 64,396 miles and the May 2025 test at 85,801 miles shows a steady usage pattern of approximately 10,700 miles per year over the last two and a half years. There are no erratic jumps in mileage that would suggest periods of prolonged standing or excessive commercial use. The MOT record is unusually clean, lacking any mentions of suspension bushes, brake disc corrosion, or exhaust leaks. While the vehicle failed tests on 21 January 2023 and 1 March 2024, these failures were resolved within days, and the lack of recorded defects suggests these were likely administrative or minor issues rather than significant mechanical failures. A physical inspection should focus on areas the MOT tester may have overlooked or that do not trigger a failure. Check the condition of the brake pads and tyre tread depth, as these consumables often wear down between tests without being flagged as advisories. Given the age of the vehicle, a close look at the underbody for surface corrosion and a check of the service history for oil changes will confirm if the mechanical care matches the clean MOT record.
