Toyota Rav4 Icon D 4d (2015)
2015 Toyota Rav4 Icon D 4d
CarHunch analysed 385 real MOT records for the 2015 Toyota Rav4 Icon D 4d. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
This 2015 RAV4 diesel is a concerningly weak performer, with a first-time MOT pass rate of just 62.8% against the UK average of 80%—meaning roughly one in three fail their test. The good news is that dangerous defects are essentially non-existent at 0%, so failures tend to be fixable rather than scary.
At 86,889 miles median, these cars have covered above-average distance for their age, yet they're generating very few failures per vehicle (0.13 on average), which suggests the issues that do crop up are relatively minor when they happen. Before buying one, get a pre-purchase inspection focused on the diesel engine and emissions system, since the weak pass rate hints at specific weak points rather than broad unreliability.
What to check before buying a 2015 Toyota Rav4 Icon D 4d
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.
