2006 Toyota RAV4 2.0L Petrol · HV56 AEY

The vehicle currently maintains a stable roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent MOT on 21 October 2025 with 102,764 miles. While the history shows a pattern of immediate failures followed by passes, the latest inspection resulted in absolutely no recorded defects or advisories. This suggests that the owner is proactive in rectifying minor non-compliance issues once they are flagged by the tester, rather than allowing faults to escalate into significant mechanical or structural failures. At approximately twenty years old, the recorded mileage of 102,764 miles represents a low average of roughly 5,138 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with only 2,754 miles covered between October 2023 and October 2024, and another 5,058 miles covered in the following twelve months. This low frequency of use typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though low-mileage vehicles of this age often suffer from degradation of rubber components, perished seals, and brake-related fluid issues despite the low odometer readings. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the underbody, as older Toyota models from this era are prone to corrosion on the sills and suspension mounting points. Given the low mileage, it is vital to check the suspension bushes and boots for cracking or tearing, which occurs due to age and time rather than distance. While the MOT record shows no current mechanical failures, a manual check of the brake calipers for seizing or pitting is necessary to ensure that the vehicle has not sat long enough to affect the braking system.
