CarHunch analysed 140 real MOT records for the 2017 Toyota Rav4 Business Ed Tss D 4d 4x2. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
This 2017 RAV4 diesel is underperforming on first-time MOT passes, hitting just 69.1% versus the UK average of 80%—a meaningful gap that suggests buyers should budget for some remedial work before passing inspection. The good news is that dangerous defects are essentially non-existent (0%), so while these cars need attention, they're not a safety lottery.
At 62,000 miles median, these vehicles are showing typical wear for their age, yet they're remarkably clean on the failure front with only 0.05 average failures per car and zero advisory items on record. Before buying, get a full pre-purchase inspection focused on the specific systems that trip up this model on test—likely suspension, emissions, or brakes—since the MOT pattern suggests a consistent weak point rather than random faults.
What to check before buying a 2017 Toyota Rav4 Business Ed Tss D 4d 4x2
Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
- 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
- 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
- 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
