2014 Toyota RAV-4 2.0L Diesel · YY64 EOR

The vehicle presents a roadworthy status following a clean MOT pass in September 2025 at 158,418 miles. This indicates a stable maintenance trend currently, as the mechanical issues identified in previous years have clearly been addressed. While the history shows intermittent reactive repairs, the lack of advisories in the most recent test suggests that the critical components are currently operating within acceptable tolerances for a vehicle of this age. The mileage reflects consistent high-intensity usage, averaging approximately 13,200 miles per annum. Between September 2023 and September 2025, the vehicle covered 30,034 miles, showing a steady rate of operation without significant periods of long-term neglect. This high accumulation of mileage places considerable stress on the drivetrain, suspension bushings, and braking system. The regularity of the tests suggests the car is used frequently, which often prevents the internal corrosion and fluid degradation associated with stationary vehicles. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the rear braking assembly, given the failure in September 2023 due to a binding nearside rear service brake and a damaged offside rear brake cable. Although these were rectified, the 2024 test flagged both rear tyres for uneven edge wear and perishing, which often points to alignment issues or worn suspension components. Inspect the condition of the shock absorbers and control arm bushings for signs of tearing, as the high mileage profile typically accelerates the degradation of rubber components in the Toyota RAV4 chassis.
