2004 TOYOTA RAV-42.0L Petrol

The 2004 Toyota RAV-4 presents a clean roadworthiness status as of the most recent test on 25 June 2025 at 95,074 miles, where the vehicle passed with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend across the supplied history is stable, showing no advisories or mechanical faults flagged by testers. A notable anomaly appears in the records: on both 20 June 2024 at 93,001 miles and 25 June 2025 at 95,074 miles, the vehicle first failed and then passed on the same day with no defects listed. This points to administrative or documentation failures at the testing station rather than any underlying vehicle condition. The recorded mileage reflects light use for a 22-year-old vehicle. From the 13 June 2023 test at 90,822 miles, the odometer rose to 93,001 miles by June 2024, then to 95,074 miles by June 2025. That equates to roughly 2,179 miles in the first interval and 2,073 in the second, against a lifetime average near 4,322 miles per year. The sparse, defect-free record gives no evidence of rapid accumulation or neglected gaps; the low annual figures suggest extended standing periods, which can conceal perished rubber components not caught in a static test. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers given the vehicle's age and likely intermittent use. Standing time promotes corrosion on structural members and brake discs that a pass with no defects will not reveal. The twin same-day fail-pass entries in 2024 and 2025 warrant a check of the V5C and DVSA portal to confirm the failures were clerical, not suppressed mechanical rejects. No recurring wear on tyres, exhaust emissions, or drivetrain appears in the data. The previous owner maintained basic test compliance, though the low mileage means consumables like wiper blades and tyres may be aged rather than worn. Verify actual rubber condition before relying on the clean MOT trail.
