2021 Toyota RAV4 2.5L Hybrid electric · PK71 EXC

The vehicle currently maintains a clean roadworthiness status, showing an improving trend in maintenance quality. The most recent inspection in February 2026 at 27,642 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that the minor issues identified in the previous year have been addressed. This progression suggests the current owner is proactive in rectifying faults once they are flagged during the MOT testing process. At 27,642 miles over five years, the RAV4 has covered a low average of approximately 5,500 miles per annum. The mileage data shows consistent usage patterns, with 5,985 miles recorded between September 2024 and September 2025, and another 724 miles leading up to the latest test. This low annual mileage profile typically reduces the mechanical wear on the drivetrain and suspension components, though it can sometimes lead to perished rubber components or seized brake calipers if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. A buyer should specifically inspect the front axle area and tyres, as the September 2025 test flagged both the nearside and offside front tyres as being close to the legal limit and worn on edges. This often indicates a tracking alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that may require adjustment despite the low mileage. The defective indicator lens from that same period has clearly been replaced, but a visual check of the light housing for secure moisture ingress remains advisable. Given the lack of structural or corrosion advisories in the history, the focus should remain on these consumable items and the integrity of the low-mileage braking components.
