2001 Toyota RAV4 2.0L Petrol · FY51 ABU

In the November 2024 test at 135,455 miles the vehicle passed with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable, with each annual test since December 2021 showing a pass and no fault entries, indicating consistent basic upkeep despite the vehicle’s advanced age. Mileage has risen from 130,938 miles in December 2021 to 135,455 miles in November 2024, a gain of roughly 4,517 miles over three years, averaging about 1,500 miles per year. This low annual accumulation is well below typical usage for a 2001 model, suggesting periods of light use or storage. The MOT history contains only four entries, leaving a gap before 2021 and no recent test after November 2024, meaning the vehicle is currently without a valid MOT certificate. A buyer should inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, test the brake calipers for binding and examine the discs for uneven wear, and assess the chassis for corrosion or rust, especially given the vehicle’s mileage and age. Tyre tread depth and wiper blade condition are consumables that should be checked, as is the exhaust system for leaks or rust. A professional service before registration is advisable to confirm that the absence of recorded defects reflects actual mechanical condition.
