2011 Toyota RAV-4 2.2L Diesel · LT61 CWL

This Toyota RAV4 has maintained a consistent MOT history with no defects recorded across five consecutive annual tests, most recently passing on 8 November 2025 at 101,497 miles. The absence of advisories or failings suggests the vehicle has undergone regular servicing aligned with manufacturer intervals, though the record does not confirm maintenance beyond MOT requirements. The most recent test, just six months ago, indicates no immediate mechanical or structural concerns, but the lack of advisories does not preclude wear on high-mileage components such as suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake calipers—areas that typically degrade incrementally over time. The recorded mileage of 101,497 miles over 15 years reflects an average of approximately 6,766 miles annually, which is within the expected range for a vehicle of this age. There are no significant gaps between tests, and the steady accumulation suggests consistent use without prolonged periods of disuse or rapid mileage spikes that might indicate neglect or aggressive driving. The uniformity of mileage increments also implies the vehicle has not been left stationary for extended periods, which could otherwise accelerate corrosion or suspension degradation. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of the suspension components, particularly the rear bushes and coil springs, as these are common failure points at this mileage. The brakes, including caliper binding and disc thickness, warrant close examination, as repeated high-mileage use may have contributed to uneven wear. Structural integrity, especially around wheel arches and sills, should also be assessed for corrosion, particularly if the vehicle has experienced wet or salty conditions. While the MOT record provides reassurance, these areas require hands-on verification to confirm their condition beyond the scope of a test.
