1995 TOYOTA RAV42.0L Petrol

This 1995 Toyota RAV4 presents a clean and stable MOT record. The most recent test on 16 April 2025 at 118,477 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. That followed an earlier pass on 18 December 2023 at 113,655 miles, also with no defects. The failure recorded on the same date in December 2023 carried no listed defects, which makes it an administrative anomaly rather than a mechanical concern. The overall maintenance trend is consistent and stable, with no worsening pattern across the recent tests. The mileage pattern reflects light use. At roughly 3,822 miles per year, this 31-year-old RAV4 has covered modest distances. Between the December 2023 test and the April 2025 test, the vehicle accumulated approximately 4,822 miles over about 16 months, which indicates steady, low-intensity driving. There are no significant usage gaps or sudden mileage spikes in the record. The consistent readings between tests lend credibility to the recorded mileage. A pre-purchase inspection should focus on age-related deterioration rather than any issues visible in this history. The MOT record contains no flagged corrosion, suspension bush wear, or brake binding, but those results only reflect the condition at each test date. On a vehicle of this age, structural rust to the sills, chassis rails, and floor pans remains the most serious risk despite the clean passes. Brake pipes, suspension bushes, and coil springs are typical wearing components that can degrade between annual tests. The clean advisory history suggests the previous owner attended to consumables such as tyres, but a physical check of these items is still advisable before purchase.
