2021 Toyota RAV4 2.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · NV21 OCG

The 2021 Toyota RAV4 presents a fully clean MOT record with no defects, advisories, or failures across all three recorded tests. The maintenance trend is stable and consistently strong. The most recent test, conducted on 3 June 2026 at 28,843 miles, passed with zero defects recorded, indicating the vehicle met all DVSA roadworthiness standards at that point. With today's date being 16 June 2026, that test is only thirteen days old, meaning the certificate is freshly issued and the vehicle's mechanical condition was verified extremely recently. The mileage pattern reveals notably low annual usage of approximately 5,769 miles per year. Between the June 2025 test at 21,890 miles and the June 2026 test at 28,843 miles, the vehicle accumulated 6,953 miles in twelve months, which is higher than the prior year's interval of 8,413 miles between May 2024 and June 2025. The annual test dates fall consistently in late May or early June, suggesting a predictable yearly servicing rhythm. There are no suspicious gaps or sudden spikes in accumulation that would raise concern about odometer tampering or prolonged standing. Despite the clean formal record, a buyer should still carry out a thorough in-person inspection focused on areas the MOT does not continuously monitor between tests. Suspension components, including front and rear coil springs, dampers, and bushes, deserve close examination given the vehicle's age, as deterioration can develop between annual tests. Brake discs, pads, and calipers should be inspected for uneven wear or binding, even though no braking defects were flagged. The exhaust system and catalytic converter should be checked for corrosion or emissions deterioration, particularly if the vehicle has been used predominantly for short journeys at low mileage. Tyre condition across all four corners, including the spare, should be verified, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from age-related rubber cracking rather than tread wear. Finally, inspect the underbody and wheel arches for any early signs of structural corrosion, as Toyota's corrosion warranty coverage should be confirmed against the vehicle's service history.
