2019 Toyota RAV4 2.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · WM19 YSO

The vehicle's current roadworthiness stands as a passed MOT, but the maintenance history reveals a clear deterioration in mechanical condition. The most recent inspection on 2025-08-21 at 42,121 miles was passed without defects, indicating that the vehicle has not experienced a major structural failure since that date. However, the preceding four-year test on 2024-12-16 at 37,798 miles failed, confirming that the mechanical condition has degraded over the last 5 years. This rapid decline in performance suggests that the owner has likely skipped routine maintenance, allowing wear on critical components to accumulate significantly. Regarding the mileage pattern, the vehicle has maintained approximately 6,017 miles per year, which is consistent with a typical 7-year-old car. While the initial 2024-01-12 test showed signs of wear on the front tyres, the subsequent years of data show that this wear has become a chronic issue rather than a one-off event. The consistent progression from a passing test in 2025 to a failing test in 2024 indicates that the vehicle is not currently in a state of stable, improving condition; rather, it is in a state of worsening condition due to a lack of periodic servicing. Given the recurring faults of worn tyres and structural damage, the buyer must inspect the vehicle for binding calipers, brake discs, and suspension bushings. The history of failing the MOT on the rear tyres in 2024 and the front tyres in 2024, combined with the lack of any recent maintenance records, strongly implies that the vehicle may require immediate professional assessment. A standard buyer should visit the dealer to check binding calipers and brake discs for signs of wear or corrosion, as well as inspect the suspension and exhaust systems for structural integrity and emissions.
