2021 Toyota RAV4 2.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · KY71 PWF

Demonstrating a strong trajectory of roadworthiness, this vehicle has returned completely clear MOT results for its two most recent annual inspections, including its latest test on 24 August 2026. The vehicle's initial test in August 2024 recorded localized tyre defects, specifically a sidewall cut on the offside front tyre and a dangerous air-leaking nail in the nearside front tyre. Both issues were resolved, resulting in zero advisory notes in the subsequent 2025 and 2026 evaluations. The overall testing trend is stable, showing no underlying recorded deficiencies in structural integrity, braking performance, or suspension components. The accumulated mileage of 28,034 miles represents a modest usage profile of roughly 5,600 miles per year over its five-year lifespan. This lower-than-average mileage means components such as suspension linkages, subframes, and major drivetrain assemblies have experienced less mechanical fatigue than higher-mileage equivalents. However, low annual mileage often signals periodic usage or short-distance trips, environments where braking components can be susceptible to surface corrosion or light slider binding if the vehicle sits stationary for extended intervals between runs. When inspecting the vehicle, close attention should be paid to the current condition of the road rubber following the 2024 tyre advisories. Confirm that both front tyres were replaced with correctly rated units, verifying that tread wear is even across the full width of each tyre and checking the sidewalls for perishing, cracking, or damage. Inspect the brake discs and calipers visually through the wheels to ensure the friction surfaces are smooth, free from heavy lip formation, and devoid of severe corrosion that can impair braking efficiency. During the road test, pay particular attention to how the vehicle behaves under heavy and light braking, listening for any scraping, grinding, or squealing, and checking that the pedal feel remains firm without pulsing or pulling the vehicle to one side. Drive over speed bumps and uneven road surfaces to listen for knocking or creaking from the suspension bushes and coil springs, and verify that the steering tracks straight without drift, ensuring chassis alignment remains true.
