2011 Toyota RAV4 2.2L Diesel · SB61 BLX

The 2011 Toyota RAV4 presents a stable maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass at its most recent examination on 20 August 2025 at 110,738 miles with zero defects recorded. Prior to this, the vehicle passed on 28 August 2024 at 105,289 miles, also without any faults. Two anomalies exist in the record, however, where the vehicle failed on 12 January 2024 and 8 August 2025 at 101,736 and 110,729 miles respectively, yet no defects were logged for either failure. This pattern suggests the vehicle was either presented in a condition requiring immediate rectification before a same-day retest, or the tests were aborted for reasons unrelated to mechanical defects. The mileage accumulation aligns closely with the vehicle's age, averaging roughly 7,383 miles per year, which indicates typical, steady use. Between the January 2024 test at 101,736 miles and the August 2025 test at 110,738 miles, the vehicle covered approximately 9,000 miles, demonstrating consistent annual driving. A significant shift occurred after the August 2025 test, as the recorded mileage has remained entirely static at 110,738 miles for nearly a full year up to the current date of 8 July 2026. This prolonged period of zero mileage accumulation strongly implies the vehicle has been standing idle or kept off the road since its last MOT. Because the official record lacks recurring mechanical advisories, a buyer must focus on the risks associated with long-term static storage rather than active wear. A stationary vehicle suffers from deteriorated rubber components; inspect the suspension bushes, tyre sidewalls, and drive shaft gaiters for perishing and cracking, as the tyres will have developed flat spots from bearing the vehicle's weight in one position. Brake discs will likely exhibit surface corrosion from lack of use, potentially causing binding calipers or reduced braking efficiency upon initial application. Verify the condition of the exhaust system for internal rust caused by standing moisture, and check the coolant and brake fluid for moisture absorption due to prolonged inactivity. Confirm the structural integrity of the underbody, as standing water can accelerate corrosion on a fifteen-year-old chassis.
