2021 Toyota RAV4 2.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · NG21 PZZ

The 2021 Toyota RAV4 presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, with its most recent MOT on 6 August 2025 at 59,545 miles passing cleanly with zero defects recorded. The prior test on 18 June 2024 at 40,865 miles also returned a pass with no advisories or failures. Two consecutive defect-free tests indicate the vehicle has been maintained to a consistently high standard, with no recurring mechanical or structural issues flagged by DVSA testers over the recorded period. The mileage accumulation is broadly typical for a five-year-old vehicle. Between the June 2024 test at 40,865 miles and the August 2025 test at 59,545 miles, the car covered approximately 18,680 miles over fourteen months, equating to roughly 15,600 miles per year on a pro-rata basis. This is moderately higher than the overall lifetime average of around 11,909 miles per year, suggesting the most recent keeper used the vehicle more intensively, possibly for longer commutes or regular motorway driving. The record is sparse with only two entries, but both are clean, leaving no evidence of neglected servicing or deferred repairs. A clean MOT record is reassuring, yet a physical inspection remains essential. At nearly 60,000 miles, consumable components such as brake discs, pads, tyres, and suspension bushes will have experienced meaningful wear and should be checked for remaining service life. The RAV4's underbody and wheel arches merit close examination for corrosion, particularly if the vehicle has been used on salted winter roads or stood idle for extended periods. The exhaust system and catalytic converter should be inspected for condition and emissions compliance, while the steering rack and drivetrain boots should be assessed for play or deterioration. A test drive over varied surfaces will reveal any developing suspension noise or alignment issues not yet severe enough to trigger a tester advisory.
