2004 TOYOTA RAV-42.0L Diesel

The 2004 Toyota RAV-4 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 7 August 2025 at 81,633 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken five-year sequence of clean MOT outcomes from January 2022 through to 2025. The recorded mileage sits at 81,633 against a 22-year lifespan, equating to roughly 3,711 miles per year. The tester logged 73,660 miles in January 2024, rising to 80,699 by January 2025 and 81,633 by August 2025. Annual accumulation stayed under 7,000 miles throughout, with no gaps exceeding twelve months between tests. Such low, consistent use implies the vehicle spent long periods stationary, which can mask corrosion or perished rubber components not caught in a static test. No advisories or failures appear in the supplied history, so the record shows no recurring suspension, brake, or structural faults to track. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of coil springs, suspension bushes, and subframe areas for hidden rust, since standing vehicles degrade silently. Verify brake disc condition and caliper freedom, as low mileage masks binding from inactivity. Given the clean MOT trail and light use, this RAV-4 reflects careful ownership on paper. Confirm the absence of undocumented accident repair and check exhaust emissions under load during a road trial before purchase.
