2021 Toyota RAV4 2.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · PL21 KFJ

The vehicle remains roadworthy based on its most recent 2025-06-03 MOT, which confirmed no defects at 27,464 miles. The 2024-06-07 test also showed no issues at 20,114 miles, indicating a stable maintenance trend over the past 18 months. No advisories or failures were recorded, suggesting consistent adherence to safety standards. However, the 13-month gap between tests raises questions about potential undetected issues, particularly given the low mileage for its age. The vehicle’s mileage of 27,464 miles over five years equates to approximately 5,493 miles annually, significantly below the UK average. This suggests either minimal use or extended periods of inactivity, which can accelerate wear on rubber components, corrosion, and fluid degradation. The 2024-06-07 test at 20,114 miles shows a 7,350-mile gap to the 2025 test, further highlighting irregular usage patterns. While the MOT history is clean, the sparse data limits insight into long-term mechanical health. A buyer should inspect for signs of inactivity, such as dry rot on tyres, corrosion in the underbody, or degraded brake fluid. Suspension bushes and coil springs may require checking for stiffness from prolonged static periods. The absence of brake-related advisories is positive, but a physical inspection of brake discs and calipers is recommended to confirm no hidden binding or wear. Structural integrity remains untested in the record, so a thorough undercarriage examination is advised to rule out rust or damage.
