2021 Toyota RAV4 2.5L Hybrid electric · SC71 NHJ

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness with a remarkably stable and clean maintenance history. The most recent test conducted on 29 May 2026 at 40,150 miles passed with no defects recorded, mirroring the clean results of the previous two years. This lack of failures suggests the prior owners have maintained the vehicle to a standard that prevents minor mechanical or structural issues from reaching failure thresholds. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-useage profile, averaging approximately 8,000 miles per annum. Between the August 2024 test at 27,132 miles and the August 2025 test at 34,532 miles, the car covered 7,400 miles, followed by another 5,618 miles leading up to the May 2026 inspection. This steady accumulation indicates regular use, which is generally beneficial for rubber components, seals, and brake-related parts compared to vehicles that sit stationary for long periods. Since the official MOT record shows no advisories related to suspension bushes, brake components, or structural corrosion, a physical inspection should focus on standard consumable wear that falls outside MOT parameters. A buyer should verify the condition of the tyre tread and sidewalls, as the MOT does not account for aging of rubber. Given the low mileage, checking for fluid leaks or the condition of the battery is also prudent to ensure the low-use vehicle has not suffered from age-related degradation despite the low odometer reading.
