2011 Toyota RAV-4 2.2L Diesel · SL11 AEA

The vehicle's current roadworthiness status appears stable following a successful MOT on 20 February 2026 at 172,498 miles. The record shows a pattern of minor failures immediately preceding successful tests, specifically in February 2026 and October 2023. These instances, where the vehicle failed and then passed within a few weeks or on the same day, suggest that the previous owners addressed minor non-compliance issues to secure a pass. While the most recent test shows no defects, the recurring nature of these failures indicates that the vehicle requires consistent attention to maintain its MOT status. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a vehicle of this age. The data shows a steady progression from 152,027 miles in October 2022 to 172,498 miles in February 2026. This represents an average of approximately 5,100 miles per year over that period, which is slightly lower than the national average but indicates regular, predictable usage rather than long periods of standing. The gap between the October 2023 and February 2026 tests shows a consistent driving pattern without any sudden spikes in mileage that would suggest heavy commercial or towing use. A prospective buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of all consumables and wear items. Although the MOT record is clean of specific mechanical defects, the history of failures suggests that items such as wiper blades, bulbs, or tyre tread depth may frequently fall below the legal limit. Given the vehicle's age and mileage, a close examination of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs is necessary to check for premature wear or corrosion. The absence of structural or emissions advisories in the recent history is a positive indicator of the vehicle's general upkeep.
