2019 Toyota RAV4 2.5L Hybrid electric · GY69 EVH

The 2019 Toyota RAV4 presents a largely stable maintenance trend, with the most recent MOT conducted on 12 September 2025 at 72,091 miles resulting in a pass. However, the record shows a notable shift in the last test. After three consecutive clean passes from November 2022 through September 2024, the September 2025 test flagged four tyre-related advisories. Both front tyres were worn close to the legal limit and worn on the edges, while both rear tyres were noted as slightly damaged, cracking, or perishing. This cluster of advisories suggests the vehicle has been sitting or has seen limited use recently, as tyre perishing and edge wear often indicate prolonged stationary periods or misalignment rather than high-mileage deterioration. The mileage pattern tells a clear story of changing use. Between the November 2022 test at 27,989 miles and the October 2023 test at 54,582 miles, the vehicle covered roughly 26,593 miles in just under 11 months, indicating a period of intensive use. From October 2023 to September 2024, it added a further 5,869 miles, a normal rate. Then, from the September 2024 test at 60,451 miles to the September 2025 test at 72,091 miles, the vehicle added 11,640 miles over 12 months, which is consistent with its lifetime average of approximately 10,299 miles per year. There are no gaps in the annual test record, and the mileage progression is logical with no signs of clocking. A buyer should focus the in-person inspection on the tyres and the condition of the suspension and steering components. The edge wear on the front tyres points to possible tracking or alignment issues, while the cracking and perishing on the rear tyres raises questions about how long the vehicle may have been stationary between uses. Inspect the sidewalls closely for deeper perishing that could indicate the tyres need replacing regardless of remaining tread. Given the jump in mileage during 2022 to 2023, the front and rear suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers deserve a thorough check for wear. The braking system should also be examined, as prolonged standing can lead to surface corrosion on brake discs and binding calipers. The vehicle has no structural or emissions advisories on record, but a test drive at speed will confirm whether the tyre wear has introduced any steering vibration or tracking pull that needs addressing.
