2013 Toyota RAV-4 2.2L Diesel · MW63 RXM

This 2013 Toyota RAV-4 has a relatively recent MOT pass from March 2026, but the history shows a pattern of neglected consumables. While the vehicle has passed its most recent test, the failure just five days prior indicates that minor maintenance items, such as tyre wear and dust covers, were only addressed immediately before the successful retest. The mileage of approximately 83,436 miles over 13 years averages out to about 6,400 miles per year. This is typical for its age and suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to extreme high-speed motorway use, but it also means it may have spent periods of time sitting idle. Such usage can sometimes lead to rubber components perishing or seals drying out. The mechanical trend appears to be worsening in terms of wear and tear. While the 2024 record noted a slight hydraulic leak from the rear differential, the most recent entries show a sudden influx of advisories and failures regarding brake discs and tyre wear. This suggests that while the car is mechanically functional, the owner may be reactive rather than proactive with routine maintenance. The most significant historical concern is the slight leak from the rear differential noted in 2024. Although it was not considered excessive at the time, any leak in a drivetrain component should be monitored closely to ensure it does not escalate into a major failure.
