Interpretation generated from the recorded test data above — not an official DVSA statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

21 MOT tests are recorded for this 1999 Toyota Rav4 (V285 EWV) between November 2005 and January 2025.

The record contains 16 passes and 5 failures.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (24 issues), Suspension (14 issues), Tyres (6 issues), Windscreen (3 issues), Lighting (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
