2021 Toyota RAV4 2.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · HF71 YBT

The vehicle presents a clean roadworthiness profile, showing a stable maintenance trend across its recent history. The most recent test conducted on 27 August 2025 at 83,439 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a clean pass in August 2024, indicating that the mechanical and structural components currently meet regulatory standards without immediate concern. The mileage data reflects high usage for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 16,700 miles annually. Between the August 2024 test at 58,519 miles and the August 2025 test at 83,439 miles, the car covered 24,920 miles in just twelve months. This rapid accumulation suggests consistent motorway use which typically places less stress on suspension components compared to stop-start city driving. While the MOT record shows no recorded faults, the physical inspection must focus on components susceptible to high-mileage wear. A buyer should scrutinize the suspension system, specifically checking coil springs and control arm bushes for signs of fatigue or tearing. Given the high mileage, the braking system should be evaluated for uneven pad wear or thin discs, as the high-frequency use often accelerates the depletion of consumables. The inspection should also verify the chassis for any early-stage corrosion, although the clean history suggests no structural integrity issues. The vehicle appears to have been maintained well enough to pass testing requirements, but the primary risk remains the remaining service life of wear-related wear items rather than immediate mechanical failures.
