2003 Toyota RAV4 GX Vvti 2.0L Petrol · TCZ 1105

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status based on the most recent inspection history. The most recent MOT test conducted on 6 June 2024 at 186,505 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating that the mechanical and safety systems met minimum standards at that time. While a failure was noted in March 2023 at 166,848 miles, the subsequent pass just one month later suggests the owner addressed the necessary repairs promptly rather than allowing faults to persist. At 186,505 miles, this 23-year-old RAV4 has averaged approximately 8,100 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK usage for its age. The mileage pattern shows consistent intervals, with roughly 10,000 miles covered between November 2019 and November 2021, and nearly 30,000 miles recorded between November 2021 and June 2024. This regular usage suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of standing, which helps prevent seal degradation and fluidrelated issues common in older Japanese SUVs. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on high-mileage components prone to wear on this specific model. Given the mileage, a close look is required at the condition of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers, as these often degrade significantly by this distance. Because the record lacks historical advisories for corrosion, a thorough check of the chassis, sills, and subframes is essential to ensure structural integrity remains uncompromised Additionally, checking for binding brake calipers or uneven wear on discs is advisable to ensure the clean 2024 result reflects the current state of the braking system.
