2013 Toyota RAV-4 2.2L Diesel · WR13 KLE

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT in March 2026 at 154,741 miles with no recorded defects. This represents a significant improvement in mechanical presentation following a period of multiple advisories in 2024 and 2025. While the latest test suggests the vehicle is in a good state, the history indicates a trend of deferred maintenance where faults were only addressed once they reached an advisory threshold rather than through proactive preventative care. At 154,741 miles over 13 years, this RAV-4 averages approximately 11,900 miles per year, which aligns closely with national averages for a vehicle of this age. The data shows consistent usage, with roughly 16,700 miles driven between August 2024 and September 2025, and another 5,200 miles in the seven months leading up to the March 2026 test. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle is used regularly, which is generally beneficial for preventing internal components from seizing up. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the rear sub-frame and brake lines. The 2024 and 2025 tests repeatedly flagged corrosion on the rear sub-frame and both front brake pipes. While the tester noted that structural rigidity was not compromised at the time, the presence of grease on corroded pipes often indicates an attempt to hide rust or a reaction to a past fluid failure. Additionally, the front suspension arm bushes were noted as worn in 2024 and 2025; you should verify these have been replaced to ensure steering precision and prevent uneven tyre wear.
