2021 Toyota RAV4 2.5L Hybrid electric · SH51 LEY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT test in August 2025 at 18,455 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the record shows a shift from minor administrative-related obstructions to physical consumable wear. While the vehicle passed without major mechanical or structural failures, the presence of tyre wear advisories indicates that the car is beginning to reach intervals where routine components require attention. The mileage profile is notably low for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,700 miles per year. Between the August 2024 test at 14,867 miles and the August 2025 test at 18,455 miles, the car covered 3,588 miles. This low usage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and suspension components, but it can occasionally lead to flat spotting on tyres or brake corrosion if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. A buyer should specifically inspect the front tyres during a physical viewing, as the 2025 test flagged both the nearside and offside front tyres as worn close to the legal limit and unevenly. This wear pattern often suggests an alignment issue or worn front suspension bushes. Given the low annual mileage, it is also prudent to check the brake discs for surface rust or pitting, as low-use vehicles frequently suffer from oxidation on the braking system when not used frequently.
