2017 Toyota RAV4 2.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · RV67 EAA

The 2017 Toyota RAV4 presents a stable and reassuring maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass at its most recent MOT on 6 October 2025 at 88,991 miles. The tester recorded zero defects, indicating the vehicle currently meets all required safety and emissions standards. This consistent pattern of passing without advisories or failures suggests the previous owner maintained the vehicle to a high standard, addressing wear items proactively rather than deferring repairs. Covering 88,991 miles over nine years equates to a typical annual mileage of roughly 9,888 miles, reflecting standard domestic use rather than prolonged standing or excessive long-distance commuting. The mileage progression remains steady and logical, moving from 62,990 miles in September 2022 to 88,991 miles by October 2025. A minor anomaly exists in the September 2022 record, where the vehicle failed on the 14th with no defects recorded, only to pass cleanly the following day at virtually the same mileage. This likely represents an aborted test or an administrative data discrepancy rather than a mechanical fault, given the immediate clean pass. Despite the unblemished MOT record, a physical inspection remains prudent for a vehicle of this age and mileage. Buyers should scrutinise the condition of consumable components approaching the end of their service life, specifically examining the brake discs and pads for uneven wear, and checking the tyres for cracking or degradation given the nine-year span. Suspension bushes and shock absorbers should be assessed for deterioration, as these components endure significant stress over nearly 90,000 miles. The underbody and structural mounts require a close visual inspection for corrosion, ensuring the vehicle's structural integrity remains intact despite its clean test outcomes.
