2019 Toyota RAV4 2.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · OY69 RYG

The most recent MOT, carried out on 8 June 2026, was passed with no recorded defects, and the preceding three annual tests in 2024, 2023 and 2022 also returned clean passes. This uninterrupted succession of fault‑free results indicates a stable maintenance pattern, with no evidence of deteriorating components or recurring advisories. Assuming the owner has kept to the manufacturer’s service schedule, the vehicle’s mechanical condition appears to have been consistently managed over the last four years. At 50,797 miles the RAV4 averages roughly 7,250 miles per annum since its first registration in 2019. This mileage is squarely within the normal usage envelope for a family SUV of this age and suggests neither excessive short‑trip wear nor prolonged periods of inactivity. There are no conspicuous gaps in the recorded mileage that would hint at long storage intervals, so the wear on consumables such as tyres, brake pads and suspension components should be commensurate with the mileage rather than calendar age alone. For a vehicle with a clean MOT history and moderate annual mileage, the buyer should focus on age‑related checks. Inspect the tyre sidewalls for cracking, dry rot or delamination, and verify that tread depth meets the legal minimum and is even across the wheelbase, as older tyres can harden even with modest use. Examine the 12‑volt battery for corrosion on terminals, confirm it holds charge under load, and consider a load‑test if the battery is older than four years. Under the bonnet, look for any signs of fluid discoloration or sediment in the engine oil, coolant and brake fluid; fluids can degrade over time even when mileage is low, so a change may be prudent if the service records are incomplete. Check the brake discs for surface rust, scoring or uneven wear, and ensure the pads have sufficient thickness and that the calipers move freely without binding or excessive noise when the brakes are applied. Finally, a thorough visual and auditory inspection of the suspension and steering is advisable. Verify that the front and rear suspension bushes, ball joints and coil springs show no cracking, excessive play or leaking grease, and listen for any clunking or knocking when the vehicle is driven over bumps or during tight cornering. Inspect the under‑body for corrosion, especially around the wheel arches, sills and exhaust system, as rust can develop quietly on a vehicle that has spent time standing. Confirm that all electronic safety aids—such as the Toyota Safety Sense suite, lane‑assist and adaptive cruise control—activate correctly, and that there are no warning lights on the instrument cluster. Addressing these time‑based items will help ensure the RAV4 remains reliable and road‑worthy beyond its current mileage.
