2022 Toyota RAV4 2.5L Hybrid electric · YC71 ONR

The 2022 Toyota RAV4 presents a stable and currently sound roadworthiness status, confirmed by a clean MOT record in the most recent test on 16 March 2026 at 27,845 miles. The vehicle passed with zero defects recorded on that date, indicating no immediate structural or mechanical concerns. The maintenance trend appears stable rather than worsening, though a single advisory from the previous year warrants attention to consumable wear patterns. Covering 27,845 miles over roughly four years equates to approximately 6,961 miles annually, a typical figure suggesting regular, light use rather than prolonged standing or high-mileage fleet work. The interval between the February 2025 test at 21,511 miles and the March 2026 test at 27,845 miles shows a gain of 6,334 miles over thirteen months. This steady accumulation aligns with the annual average and points to consistent, routine driving without extreme stress on the drivetrain or suspension components. Despite the recent clean test, the February 2025 test at 21,511 miles flagged a Nearside Front Tyre worn close to the legal limit and worn on the edge. This specific wear pattern often indicates misaligned tracking or worn suspension bushes, rather than simple neglect. A buyer should inspect the nearside front wheel alignment and condition of the suspension components, particularly the lower arm bushes and track rod ends, to ensure the uneven tyre wear does not recur. Checking the remaining tyre tread depths and sidewalls will verify whether the subsequent replacement was done correctly and aligned with the vehicle's ongoing care.
