2002 TOYOTA RAV42.0L Petrol

The 2002 Toyota RAV4 passed its most recent MOT on 6 December 2022 at 222,355 miles with no defects recorded, and the maintenance trend across the supplied history reads as stable with no recurring mechanical or structural advisories. The vehicle carries a clean test sheet at its last examination, though the December 2022 and December 2021 records each show a failed test on the same day as a subsequent pass at identical mileage, with no defects logged against either failure. That pattern points to administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than a deterioration in the car's roadworthiness. Mileage accumulation is broadly typical for a 24-year-old vehicle, averaging around 9,265 miles per year. The odometer moved from 214,750 miles at the November 2020 pass to 218,723 miles by the December 2021 test, then to 222,355 miles by December 2022, equating to roughly 3,500 to 4,000 miles annually over the recorded period. No rapid accumulation or unexplained gaps appear in the data, and the sparse five-entry history shows no advisories on tyres, brakes, suspension bushes, exhaust emissions, or corrosion at any stage. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody condition given the vehicle's age and 222,355 miles, as MOT absence of advisories does not confirm freedom from age-related corrosion or worn coil springs. The twin same-day fail-and-pass entries in 2021 and 2022 at unchanged mileage warrant a check of the DVSA failure reasons, since the record shows none transcribed. Verify brake disc thickness, binding calipers, and steering joint play in person, as these items escape detection on a clean sheet once a pass is issued.
