2014 Toyota RAV4 2.0L Diesel · WN14 ADV

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2024-08-13 at 113,711 miles recorded a pass with no defects, but a duplicate failed entry at 113,709 miles on the same date raises procedural questions. No structural, braking, or emissions issues were flagged in prior tests, indicating a stable maintenance trend over the past three years. The absence of advisories or critical failures suggests the owner prioritized basic upkeep, though the two-year gap since the last valid test (2024-08-13) means the current roadworthiness status remains unverified. The vehicle’s mileage of 113,711 miles aligns with an average annual usage of 9,476 miles, consistent with its 12-year age. Tests from 2021-2023 at 84,930 to 96,544 miles all passed without defects, showing no signs of accelerating wear. However, the lack of MOT data between 2023 and 2024, followed by a 2024 test at nearly identical mileage, suggests potential lapses in compliance. This pattern may indicate periods of reduced usage or missed inspections, though no mechanical issues were recorded during the valid tests. A buyer should physically inspect the suspension components, particularly the rear coil springs and bushings, which are common wear points on this model. The absence of brake-related advisories is reassuring, but a thorough check of the exhaust system and corrosion around the chassis is recommended, as these can develop unnoticed. Given the gap in testing, verifying the vehicle’s current condition through a professional inspection is essential before purchase.
