2015 Toyota RAV4 2.0L Diesel · SW65 EXD

The 2015 Toyota RAV4 presents a clean bill of health across its entire MOT history. The most recent test on 21 August 2025 at 47,875 miles passed with zero defects, advisories, or failures. This marks six consecutive flawless MOTs stretching back to August 2021, indicating a stable and consistently maintained vehicle with no emerging mechanical or structural concerns. The mileage accumulation tells a clear story of low annual use. Between the August 2021 test at 24,129 miles and the August 2025 test at 47,875 miles, the vehicle covered 23,746 miles over four years, averaging roughly 5,936 miles annually. However, the bulk of that distance was covered earlier in the period. Between August 2024 at 42,428 miles and August 2025 at 47,875 miles, the RAV4 added 5,447 miles in twelve months, which is still modest for a vehicle of this type. The progression from 35,920 miles in August 2023 to 42,428 miles in September 2024 shows 6,508 miles in that single year, a slight uptick but nothing suggesting heavy commercial or long-distance use. The gaps between test dates are consistent, typically running 11 to 13 months apart, with no suspiciously short intervals or unexplained mileage jumps. With no recurring faults on record, a buyer should still approach the inspection with a measured eye given the vehicle is now over eleven years old. Even with low mileage, rubber suspension bushes, dust boots, and anti-roll bar links can perish through age rather than use. The underside deserves close attention for surface corrosion on subframes, brake lines, and exhaust mounting points, particularly if the vehicle has spent periods stationary. Tyre age matters here too; tyres with good tread depth but date codes from 2019 or 2020 will need replacement regardless of remaining rubber. Brake discs and pads should be measured for wear, as low-mileage vehicles can suffer from uneven corrosion on disc faces from repeated short trips. The 2.0-litre diesel or 2.5-litre petrol powertrain should be checked for oil leaks around the cam cover and sump, and the exhaust system inspected for DPF health if diesel-powered. Overall, the MOT record strongly supports a well-kept vehicle, but age-related deterioration remains the primary risk for any buyer to verify in person.
