Our Verdict

A strong recommendation for buyers seeki

Focus your attention on the service history to confirm that the 2.5L hybrid powertrain has been serviced at the recommended intervals. Check for evidence that the front tyres were replaced following the 2024 MOT advisories regarding wear close to the legal limit.

You should use the most recent MOT advisory regarding a cut in the nearside rear tyre as a point for negotiation, as this may necessitate a tyre replacement in the near future to maintain safety and performance.

As a hybrid electric vehicle, this RAV4 is designed for efficiency, particularly in urban environments, and meets Euro 6 AP emissions standards. Insurance costs will be typical for a large family SUV, and tax will be based on its hybrid status and original CO2 emissions.

Typical maintenance costs for this model are generally moderate, though the annual budget should account for the higher tyre wear seen in this vehicle's history. Estimated annual running costs include fuel, VED, insurance, and routine servicing.

Carefully inspect the nearside rear tyre for the cut identified in the July 2026 MOT test to assess if replacement is now necessary. Check the tread depth and condition of all four tyres, given the 2024 record of front tyres being worn close to the legal limit.

While this specific car has not failed for these items, you should inspect the headlamps, brake discs, and shock absorbers, as these are the most frequent failure points identified in aggregate data for the RAV4 model.

This silver 2021 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid has recorded 52,022 miles, which is above the model average of 7,594 miles per year. Its MOT history shows three consecutive passes, with advisories limited to tyre wear and a minor cut. It is a Euro 6 AP compliant vehicle with a stable testing record.

The RAV4 demonstrates a solid reliability profile with an average MOT pass rate of 85.7% across the analysed fleet.
