Moderate sample. 345 vehicles on record. Figures are indicative — the specific vehicle's history matters more than these averages.

The 2011 Toyota RAV4 XT-R D-4D is a reliably built diesel with an 84% first-time pass rate that comfortably beats the UK average of 80%, and importantly, none of the 345 vehicles analysed has ever recorded a dangerous defect. This is a safe, well-engineered compact SUV that's unlikely to surprise you with catastrophic failures.

At an average mileage of 112,527 miles for a 13-year-old vehicle, these RAV4s have been worked reasonably hard, yet they're still only averaging 0.76 failures per MOT test—suggesting the diesel engine and chassis wear well with age. If you're buying one, check the service history carefully and budget for routine maintenance, but you're unlikely to face major structural or safety issues that aren't immediately obvious.

The 2011 Toyota Rav4 Xt R D 4d passes its MOT first time more often than most UK vehicles (88.4% vs ~80% average) — and when it does fail, it's usually something minor and cheap to fix.
