2022 Toyota RAV4 Design Phev Auto 2.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · KV22 DHU

The vehicle presents a clean bill of roadworthiness based on the most recent inspection. The MOT test conducted on 27 June 2025 at 16,614 miles resulted in a pass with zero defects or advisories. This indicates a stable maintenance trend where the vehicle has met all minimum safety and environmental standards without any mechanical or structural failures flagged by the tester. The recorded mileage is exceptionally low for a four-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,154 miles per year. This low usage pattern suggests the car has seen minimal use, which typically results in reduced wear on primary mechanical components such as suspension bushings and brake pads. The gap between the June 2025 test and the current date shows the vehicle has remained in a low-usage bracket without significant mileage accumulation since the last official check. Since the MOT history shows no recurring faults, an in-person inspection should focus on potential issues associated with low-mileage storage. A buyer should check brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting, which can occur when a vehicle sits stationary for long periods. It is also prudent to inspect the tyres for age-related sidew cracking, as rubber can degrade even if tread depth remains high. Given the PHEV powertrain, verifying the high-voltage battery health and ensuring the transition between electric and combustion modes remains seamless are essential steps beyond the standard MOT checklist.
