2018 Toyota RAV4 2.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · YM18 AEB

The 2025‑09‑22 MOT at 43,488 miles confirms the vehicle remains roadworthy with no defects recorded, indicating a stable maintenance trend that has not deteriorated since the previous September test. Earlier tests show recurring minor advisories on suspension arm pins and bushes and occasional tyre perishing, but none have escalated to major failures. At 43,488 miles the Rav4 averages roughly 5,400 miles per year, a rate consistent with light, regular use rather than long periods of standing. The mileage record shows steady growth from 19,172 miles in June 2021 to 43,488 miles in September 2025, with the most recent 12‑month increase of 5,909 miles, and no extended intervals of inactivity evident in the data. A buyer should therefore focus on the components that have repeatedly attracted advisories: the off‑side and near‑side rear suspension arm pins and bushes, which have been noted as worn but not causing excessive movement, and the tyres, which have shown perishing and cracking on multiple occasions. Inspection should include a thorough check of suspension bush condition for play, verification that brake calipers move freely and that discs are not scored or excessively worn, assessment of tyre tread depth and sidewall integrity, and a visual examination of the chassis and wheel arches for any signs of structural rust or corrosion.
