2022 Toyota RAV4 2.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · LD22 FMK

The 2022 Toyota RAV4 presents a stable and well-maintained roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT conducted on 1 April 2026 at 13,071 miles resulted in a clean pass, with the sole advisory being a nail in the nearside rear tyre. This single, minor advisory indicates no underlying mechanical or structural faults. The maintenance trend is stable and improving, as the vehicle transitioned from a fully clean test in April 2025 to a near-clean test in 2026, suggesting consistent and attentive upkeep by the previous owner. The mileage pattern reveals exceptionally low usage. The vehicle accumulated just 2,657 miles between the April 2025 test at 10,414 miles and the April 2026 test at 13,071 miles. Over its four-year lifespan, this equates to roughly 3,268 miles per year, significantly below the UK average. Such low mileage typically reduces wear on consumables like brake discs, pads, and suspension bushes. However, prolonged periods of short journeys or standing can introduce risks like moisture accumulation in the exhaust system or localised corrosion on brake components from lack of use. Prospective buyers should inspect the tyre condition closely, as the advisory for the nearside rear nail suggests the owner may have overlooked routine tyre pressure checks. While the MOT record is sparse and clean, a physical inspection should focus on verifying the structural integrity of the underbody for any surface corrosion, despite the vehicle's age. Pay particular attention to the condition of the suspension coil springs and anti-roll bar links, as low-mileage vehicles can still suffer from perished rubber bushes due to age rather than wear. The braking system should be tested for any signs of binding or uneven pad wear, a common issue on vehicles that spend extended periods stationary.
