2021 Toyota RAV4 Excel HEV CVT 2.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · JIL 4487

The vehicle currently holds a clean bill of health following its most recent MOT on 25 June 2025 at 43,148 miles. This pass without any recorded defects or advisories indicates a high standard of mechanical upkeep and suggests the vehicle is currently in a stable, roadworthy condition. The absence of minor faults typically associated with consumables, such as tyre tread depth or wiper blade degradation, points to a conscientious ownership pattern where maintenance is addressed proactively rather than waiting for the annual test. The recorded mileage of 43,148 miles over a five-year lifespan aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this class, averaging approximately 8,630 miles per annum. The consistency of this accumulation suggests the car has seen regular, moderate use rather than long periods of inactivity or excessive motorway commuting. Because the MOT history is limited to this single recent entry, there is no evidence of recurring mechanical trends or neglected long-term repairs, which is expected for a vehicle of this age and Toyota's reputation for reliability. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the condition of the hybrid drivetrain components and the braking system. While the test record is clean, the regenerative braking system on this model can sometimes mask the condition of the friction pads and discs, which may suffer from surface corrosion if the vehicle has been parked for extended periods during damp weather. Check the suspension bushes and coil springs for any signs of premature wear or road grime accumulation, as these are common high-wear areas on heavier hybrid SUVs. Verify that all electrical systems and driver assistance sensors are functioning correctly during a test drive to ensure the vehicle's sophisticated safety suite remains fully operational.
