TOYOTA RAV41999 · 2.0L PETROL

The vehicle presents a significant roadworthiness risk due to a complete lack of MOT data for over twelve years. The last recorded test occurred in October 2013 at 128,492 miles, which passed with advisories for worn front tyres. Given the current date of June 2026, there is no verified evidence of the structural integrity, braking performance, or emissions for the past decade. The maintenance trend is effectively invisible because the vehicle has ceased to undergo annual professional safety inspections. The recorded mileage of 128,492 miles is notably low for a 27-year-old Toyota, averaging approximately 4,759 miles per year. However, the data shows a gap in records between 2011 and 2013 where the car covered over 22,000 miles in two years. Since the 2013 test, the mileage has not been updated, suggesting the vehicle has sat stationary for long periods. Such long-term inactivity often leads to the degradation of rubber components, perished brake lines, seized brake calipers, and fluid contamination, regardless of the low odometer reading. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the chassis for corrosion, as older RAV4s are prone to structural rust in the sills and wheel arches. The 2012 failure highlighted deteriorated brake hoses and critically worn pads, indicating a history of reactive maintenance rather than preventative care. You should specifically inspect the condition of the suspension bushes and check the tyres for flat-spotting or age-related cracking. Without a recent MOT to verify the state of the drivetrain and braking system, the vehicle represents a high-risk mechanical investment.
