TOYOTA RAV42008 · 2.0L Petrol

This vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 22 January 2026 at 77,254 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects recorded. This follows a pattern of consistent passes over the last three years, indicating the car is being kept in a condition that meets minimum legal standards. The mileage is exceptionally low for an 18 year old vehicle, averaging roughly 4,292 miles per year. Between 20 December 2023 and 22 January 2026, the odometer increased from 68,923 to 77,254 miles. This represents a steady usage pattern of approximately 8,300 miles over two years, suggesting the car is used regularly rather than sitting dormant for long periods. The MOT record is unusually clean, showing no advisories or specific defects across multiple tests. While the failures on 12 December 2024 and 15 December 2025 were resolved almost immediately, the lack of detailed defect data in the record makes it difficult to identify recurring mechanical weaknesses. The absence of flagged corrosion or suspension wear is positive, but typical age-related degradation often occurs without appearing on a basic MOT. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components that often perish due to low mileage and age. Check the condition of the rubber suspension bushes and engine mounts for cracking. Inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion and the tyres for age-related cracking in the sidewalls, even if the tread depth is sufficient. Given the vehicle's age, a thorough check for structural rust on the underbody is essential to confirm the clean MOT record reflects the actual physical state of the chassis.
