2018 Toyota RAV4 2.5L Hybrid electric · SL68 OAE

The vehicle is currently roadworthy and demonstrates a stable maintenance trend over the last several years. The most recent inspection conducted in August 2025 at 63,070 miles passed without mechanical defects, although a minor obstruction was noted regarding a child seat preventing a full inspection of the adult belt. This follows two clean records in 2023 and 2024 where no faults or advisories were raised. The mileage pattern is consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 7,800 miles per year. There is a clear progression of usage recorded between December 2021 (27,255 miles) and August 2025 (63,070 miles), showing an increase of roughly 36,000 miles over four years. This suggests the car has been used regularly, which is generally beneficial for engine components and seals compared to vehicles subject to long periods of inactivity. A buyer should pay close attention to the rear suspension geometry and tyre wear. MOT records from 2021 and 2022 repeatedly flagged the nearside and offside rear inner tyres as being worn close to the legal limit or showing uneven edge wear. This recurring issue indicates a potential alignment problem or wear on the rear suspension bushes. While the most recent tests show no active defects, a physical inspection is required to ensure that the cause of the previous uneven wear has been addressed and that the current tyres are not deteriorating improperly.
