2021 Toyota RAV4 2.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · HJ71 AFF

The vehicle maintains a clean record of roadworthiness, with the most recent MOT certificate issued on 25 April 2025 at 37,235 miles showing no recorded defects or advisories. This indicates a stable and high standard of maintenance, as the car passed its two most recent examinations without requiring any remedial work. The absence of flagged items suggests that the mechanical components, including the braking system and suspension, are currently operating within the manufacturer's expected tolerances. The recorded mileage of 37,235 miles over a five-year period averages out to approximately 7,447 miles per annum, which aligns with typical usage patterns for a vehicle of this class. The interval between the September 2024 test and the April 2025 test shows a modest accumulation of 1,008 miles, suggesting the vehicle has seen light usage in the most recent period. There are no significant gaps in the testing history that would indicate prolonged periods of inactivity or storage, which is a positive indicator for the condition of seals, battery health, and fluid integrity. Given the pristine MOT history, a prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on the condition of consumable items that fall outside the scope of the annual test. While the structural integrity and major mechanical systems appear sound, you should verify the depth and evenness of the tyre treads and check for any signs of uneven wear that might suggest alignment issues not yet severe enough to trigger a failure. Inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion or scoring, as low-mileage vehicles can sometimes develop these issues if they are not driven frequently enough to keep the friction surfaces clean. Ensure the hybrid battery health and all electronic driver aids function correctly during a test drive, as these systems are not fully evaluated during a standard MOT assessment.
