2010 TOYOTA RAV-42.2L Diesel

The vehicle is currently in a roadworthy state with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test on 2 September 2025 at 130,178 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a pattern of clean passes over the last three years, suggesting the car has been kept in a condition that meets minimum legal standards without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage is consistent with the age of the vehicle, averaging roughly 8,136 miles per year. Between the September 2023 test at 118,029 miles and the September 2024 test at 126,697 miles, the car covered 8,668 miles. Usage slowed significantly in the following year, with only 3,481 miles added by the September 2025 test. This decrease in annual mileage does not indicate any immediate concern but suggests a change in usage patterns. The MOT record is unusually clean for a sixteen year old vehicle, showing no advisories for common age-related issues such as suspension bush wear, brake disc corrosion, or exhaust leaks. While the lack of recorded defects is positive, a buyer should still physically inspect the chassis and sills for structural rust, as MOT testers sometimes overlook surface corrosion that does not yet compromise safety. Given the age and mileage, a manual check of the drivetrain and fluid levels is recommended. The absence of recorded faults on the MOT history does not guarantee the health of the timing belt or gearbox oil, which are critical service items for this model. A buyer should verify the service history to ensure these preventative maintenance tasks were performed regardless of the clean MOT results.
