2015 Toyota Rav4 Icon D 4d 4x2

CarHunch analysed 363 real MOT records for the 2015 Toyota Rav4 Icon D 4d 4x2. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.

This 2015 RAV4 diesel is a red flag on first MOT—it's passing at just 50.1%, almost 30 percentage points below the UK average of 80%, meaning roughly half fail their test. The good news is that dangerous defects are virtually non-existent at 0%, so failures tend to be fixable rather than safety-critical.

These vehicles are running at a sensible 89,000 miles median, which is typical for their age, yet the low pass rate suggests either poor maintenance history across this cohort or underlying mechanical issues emerging around this mileage point. With an average of only 0.12 failures per vehicle and zero advisories recorded, the MOT data hints that failures, when they occur, are straightforward—likely suspension, emissions, or brake components—making this a repairable buy if you're willing to budget for pre-purchase checks and early repairs.

What to check before buying a 2015 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.
