2020 Toyota RAV4 2.5L Hybrid electric · VAC 7X

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, the most recent MOT on 3 June 2025 recorded a pass with no defects at 17,573 miles. The failure in June 2023 was isolated to rear lighting components; subsequent tests have been clean, indicating a stable and improving maintenance trend. Mileage accumulation is modest, averaging roughly 2,900 miles per year for a six‑year‑old model, which is low for its age. The jump from 10,186 miles in the failed test to 10,332 miles two weeks later shows minimal use, while the increase to 13,240 miles by June 2024 and to 17,573 miles by June 2025 reflects steady but light usage. No significant gaps in the annual testing record are evident. A buyer should inspect the rear lighting assembly for the stop lamp lens, direction indicator lens and the rear body component that was damaged in 2023. Verify that the lens housings are clear, the bulbs operate correctly and the rear body panel shows no corrosion or deformation. Although no brake or suspension issues appear in the MOT history, a visual check of the rear brake discs, callipers and suspension bushes is advisable, as low mileage does not guarantee component condition. Finally, examine tyre tread depth and condition across all four wheels, and look for any signs of rust on the underbody and chassis to confirm the structural integrity of the RAV4.
