2014 Toyota Rav4 Icon D 4d 4x2

CarHunch analysed 245 real MOT records for the 2014 Toyota Rav4 Icon D 4d 4x2. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.

This 2014 RAV4 diesel falls noticeably below the UK average with a 67.7% first-time pass rate versus the national 80%, suggesting reliability issues are more common than typical for its age. The good news is that dangerous defects are absent from this cohort, so safety-critical failures aren't a pattern concern.

At nearly 94,000 miles, these cars sit right where you'd expect for a 10-year-old vehicle, and the low advisory count (0.0 per car) indicates most problems are straightforward failures rather than emerging wear. Before buying, get a pre-purchase inspection focused on the specific failures plaguing this model—the 0.19 average failures per vehicle suggests a few recurring issues worth identifying upfront.

What to check before buying a 2014 Toyota Rav4 Icon 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.
