2010 Toyota RAV-4 2.2L Diesel · RJ60 ABX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its latest MOT on 10 April 2026 with 108,342 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the record shows a recurring pattern of immediate failure followed by a pass on the same day. In both 2025 and 2026, the vehicle failed the initial test but passed shortly after without recorded defects, suggesting that minor, rectifyable issues are being addressed immediately during the testing process rather than indicating chronic mechanical neglect. The mileage profile is consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 6,771 miles per year. Between the March 2024 test at 96,316 miles and the April 2025 test at 107,977 miles, the car covered 11,661 miles in just thirteen months, which represents a temporary spike above the annual average. However, the usage dropped significantly to only 365 miles recorded between April 2025 and April 2026, indicating the vehicle may have sat stationary for long periods during the last year. Despite the clean results of the most recent pass, a buyer must perform a physical inspection of components prone to age-related degradation. Prolonged periods of standing often lead to seized brake calipers, perished rubber bushes, and internal corrosion in fuel lines. Given the vehicle's age, a close look at the structural integrity for surface rust on the chassis and mounting points is essential, as the MOT record does not always capture minor corrosion until it reaches a critical threshold. The condition of the suspension and the state of the tyre-related components should also be verified to ensure the low mileage has not masked hidden dry rot or material fatigue.
