Moderate sample. 347 vehicles on record. Figures are indicative — the specific vehicle's history matters more than these averages.

The 2010 RAV4 XT-R D-4D is slightly more reliable than average, with an 82.5% first-time MOT pass rate against the UK average of 80%, and no vehicles in this cohort have ever recorded a dangerous defect. The diesel engine variant passes at 82.4%, which is consistent across the sample.

At 120,000 miles median, these RAV4s are fairly typical for their age and show manageable maintenance demands—averaging just 0.96 failures per vehicle and virtually no advisories. Before buying, have a pre-purchase inspection focus on checking service history and suspension wear, since the low advisory rate suggests owners are catching problems early rather than the car being problem-free.

The 2010 Toyota Rav4 Xt R D 4d passes its MOT first time more often than most UK vehicles (86% vs ~80% average) — and when it does fail, it's usually something minor and cheap to fix.
