2021 Toyota RAV4 2.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · SM71 AOR

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a slight shift toward reactive rather than proactive upkeep. While the MOT on 05 August 2025 at 83,475 miles passed, it introduced advisories that were absent in the previous year. The presence of an offside front tyre worn close to the legal limit and on the edge, alongside a damaged nearside windscreen, indicates lapse in routine consumable inspections prior to the test date. The mileage profile is high for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 16,700 miles per annum. Between the 13 August 2024 test at 57,470 miles and the 2025 test at 83,475 miles, the car covered 26,005 miles in just twelve months. This rapid accumulation suggests significant motorway use, which typically accelerates the wear on suspension components and bushings compared to city driving. The clean record from 2024 suggests the vehicle was in good condition at that time, but the high annual mileage demands more frequent monitoring. A buyer should inspect the front suspension alignment, as the edge wear on the offside front tyre often points to tracking issues or worn ball joints. Given the high mileage, a physical check of the brake discs and pad thickness is necessary to ensure they are not nearing their service interval. The damaged windscreen should be assessed for replacement to prevent the cracks from spreading under thermal stress, which could eventually compromise the structural integrity of the glass.
