2019 Toyota RAV4 2.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · WD19 UTN

A consistent record of clean roadworthiness defines this vehicle, with the most recent test on 27 February 2026 resulting in a pass with no recorded defects. The MOT history shows a stable trend of passing tests since 2022, with no major failures or structural integrity issues flagged across the five recorded inspections. While the 2025 test included advisories regarding rear child seats obstructing the inspection of adult seat belts, these were non-mechanical observations rather than component defects, and the subsequent 2026 test returned to a clean status. The vehicle exhibits a low annual mileage accumulation of approximately 5,081 miles per year, totaling 35,564 miles over its seven-year lifespan. This usage pattern is significantly lower than the UK average for a vehicle of this age. From a mechanical perspective, such low mileage suggests reduced wear on high-friction components like brake discs, pads, and tyres, as well as less frequent stress on suspension bushes and drivetrain elements. However, it also means the vehicle has spent more time stationary relative to its total distance travelled, which can sometimes lead to less frequent engagement of certain mechanical systems compared to high-mileage motorway vehicles. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the components that were partially obscured during the 2025 testing period. Although the 2026 MOT cleared these advisories, the presence of rear child seats during previous inspections means the full condition of the rear seat belt pretensioners and buckle mechanisms was not comprehensively verified. During a test drive, ensure that all rear seat belts retract smoothly, lock securely when pulled sharply, and show no signs of fraying or internal obstruction. Given the low mileage and the lack of recorded mechanical defects, the primary focus should be on verifying that the vehicle has been driven regularly enough to maintain component health. Listen for any unusual knocks or knocks from the suspension linkages or coil springs when driving over uneven surfaces, and check for any binding or unevenness in the braking performance by feeling for pedal judder or steering pull under moderate braking. The absence of recorded oil misting or exhaust emissions defects in the history suggests the engine and sealing components have remained within acceptable parameters throughout the recorded testing period.
