2023 Toyota RAV4 2.5L Hybrid electric · WN23 AOV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a passing MOT test on March 26, 2026. While the vehicle met minimum standards, the record reveals a concerning trend of deferred maintenance regarding consumable components. The tester flagged multiple advisories involving the offside rear position lamp and perishing across all four tyres, suggesting that while the vehicle is mechanically functional, preventative upkeep on rubber components has been neglected despite the relatively low mileage. At 23,264 miles over three years, the Toyota RAV4 has averaged approximately 7,755 miles per annum. This figure aligns closely with typical UK usage for a modern SUV, suggesting the drivetrain and suspension components have not been subjected to excessive mechanical stress. The recent nature of the MOT, occurring only three months prior to the current date, indicates the vehicle is still in active use and is being monitored for regulatory compliance. A buyer must prioritise a physical inspection of all four tyres before purchase. The MOT record noted cracking and perishing on the entire set, which often indicates the rubber has reached its structural limit due to age or sitting for long periods, even if the tread depth remains legally sufficient. The offside rear light assembly should also be checked to ensure the product on the lens does not degrade further or obscure light output over time. Beyond these identified issues, the sparse history shows no evidence of structural corrosion, brake failures, or suspension wear. Because the vehicle is relatively young with low mileage, the primary focus should remain on the service history to ensure oil changes and fluid checks have followed the manufacturer's schedule, as the MOT record only confirms basic safety markers rather than mechanical health.
