2021 Toyota RAV4 2.5L Hybrid electric · N5 PEO

The vehicle is currently in good roadworthiness for its age, as the most recent MOT of 43,023 miles on 2026-01-06 passed without defects. While the 2025-01-06 test at 36,108 miles also passed, the 2023-12-21 test at 28,393 miles was the only one that failed, indicating a lack of consistent maintenance. The test date is approximately three years prior to the current date, placing the vehicle in a window where minor wear is common but structural integrity remains the primary concern. The mileage trajectory suggests a stable but aging pattern where the test dates are roughly evenly spaced, though the 2023-12-21 failure at 28,393 miles is a significant gap. This lack of improvement in the 2023-2025 period indicates that the vehicle has not been maintained in the same way as its older owners, potentially leading to accelerated wear on components such as the suspension and drivetrain. The current test date of 2026-06-17 falls within this gap, meaning the vehicle will continue to accumulate miles and wear without a corresponding MOT. Given the recurring failure at 28,393 miles, the buyer must inspect the vehicle for signs of structural rust, particularly on the rear child seat and front tire, as well as check the suspension bushings and alignment. The brakes, while passing, should be inspected for binding calipers and brake discs for corrosion. The exhaust emissions and structural integrity of the chassis and engine block require a thorough check, as the vehicle has not been serviced for over three years and the mileage has increased without a corresponding MOT.
