2021 Toyota RAV4 2.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · HT21 LZE

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate issued on 15 May 2026 at 33,178 miles, which is just over one month old. The overall trend is stable, with no serious structural or mechanical failures recorded across the three available tests. The only defect noted in the most recent inspection is a minor advisory for rear brake pads wearing thin at 4mm, which falls within acceptable limits but signals the approach of a routine service item. No corrosion, suspension defects, or emissions failures have been flagged, indicating consistent, trouble-free operation. The mileage progression is linear and unremarkable. Between the May 2024 test at 18,043 miles and the May 2025 test at 25,974 miles, the vehicle covered 7,931 miles. The subsequent interval to the May 2026 test at 33,178 miles added 7,204 miles. This steady annual accumulation of roughly 7,000 to 8,000 miles is slightly above the typical average for a five-year-old vehicle and suggests regular daily use rather than prolonged standing. No anomalous gaps or sudden jumps in the odometer record are present. The rear brake pad advisory at the most recent test is the only recurring mechanical observation in the file. At 4mm, the friction material is approaching the minimum service limit and will likely require replacement within the next few thousand miles. A buyer should verify the condition of the rear brake discs for scoring or lipping and confirm whether the pads have already been renewed since the May 2026 test. The front braking system has not been flagged, but a physical inspection of all calipers, hoses, and disc thickness remains prudent given the vehicle’s age and mileage. Beyond the brakes, the absence of corrosion advisories, suspension faults, or emissions defects across three consecutive clean tests is encouraging. A prospective buyer should still inspect the underside for surface rust on subframes and suspension arms, check the condition of all tyre sidewalls and tread depths, and verify that the exhaust system remains leak-free. The record suggests a well-maintained vehicle with no underlying mechanical concerns, but the approaching rear brake service is the only near-term item to budget for.
