2011 Toyota RAV-4 2.2L Diesel · MW60 ADO

The 2011 Toyota RAV-4 demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend, with the most recent MOT on 2026-01-19 confirming a pass at 155,417 miles. No defects were recorded in this or prior tests, including the 2025-01-15 pass and the 2024-01-15 pass/fail pair. While two failures occurred in 2026 and 2024, neither listed defects, suggesting minor procedural or non-critical issues. The absence of structural, braking, or emissions-related failures in the last three years implies consistent maintenance, though the lack of detailed defect records limits deeper analysis. Mileage progression aligns with typical usage for a 15-year-old vehicle, averaging 10,361 miles annually. The 2024-01-15 test at 147,156 miles shows no gaps in service, with a 5,368-mile increase to 152,524 miles by 2025-01-15 and a 2,893-mile rise to 155,417 miles by 2026-01-19. This steady accumulation suggests regular operation rather than prolonged inactivity. However, the sparse MOT history—limited to four tests over 18 months—offers limited insight into long-term maintenance patterns. Buyers should prioritise inspecting suspension components, such as worn bushes or coil springs, common in older RAV-4s, and check for corrosion in underbody panels or exhaust systems. Brake discs and calipers should be assessed for uneven wear, while the steering and drivetrain should be tested for play or noise. Despite the clean MOT record, the vehicle’s age and mileage warrant a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm the absence of hidden issues not flagged in the tests.
