2005 Toyota RAV4 Granite D-4D 2.0L Diesel · RKZ 6067

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the most recent MOT data. The most recent test conducted on 28 April 2025 at 164,326 miles passed with no defects recorded, following a technical failure just seventeen days prior on 11 April 2025 at 164,196 miles. While the failure recorded no specific defects, it suggests an administrative error or a minor component issue that was rectified immediately before the retest. Since the February 2022 test, the vehicle has maintained a clean record without any recorded advisories or mechanical failures. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent for a 21-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,800 miles per annum. Between February 2022 and March 2023, the car covered 8,715 miles, followed by 8,715 miles in the year leading to March 2024. The more recent interval of 19,715 miles between March 2023 and April 2025 shows a slight increase in usage but indicates regular, active use which is generally beneficial for seals and mechanical components on a Toyota of this age. Because the MOT history lacks recorded advisories, a physical inspection must focus on common age-related wear points for this generation of RAV4. A buyer should specifically inspect the structural integrity of the chassis, particularly the rear sills and wheel arches, where corrosion often develops on these models. Given the mileage, the condition of the suspension bushes, coil springs for fractures, and the state of the brake calipers for binding is essential, as these items are not always flagged until they reach a critical failure threshold.
