2012 Toyota RAV4 2.2L Diesel · SL62 XPR

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a remarkably stable maintenance trend over the last three years. Following a single failure in October 2022, the RAV4 has achieved four consecutive pass-on-first-time tests with no recorded defects or advisories. This streak of clean passes through to the August 2025 test suggests that the previous owners proactively addressed any mechanical issues and maintained the vehicle to a high standard. The mileage pattern is consistent with a well-used vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 9,000 miles per year. Between October 2023 and August 2025, the car covered 16,364 miles, indicating steady and regular use rather than long periods of neglect or excessive strain. The jump of 10,584 miles between the October 2024 and August 2025 tests shows a consistent annual usage profile which is generally beneficial for keeping components like brake seals and suspension bushings lubricated and preventing dry-related failure. While the MOT record shows no current advisories, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on components prone to age-related wear on a Toyota with over 124,000 miles. Check the underside for structural corrosion on the exhaust siping and mounting points, as the MOT only flags surface rust once it becomes structurally significant. Given the mileage, verify the condition of the rear suspension bushings and check for any fluid leaks from the shock absorbers, as these are often the first items to degrade on this platform despite a clean test history.
