2004 Toyota RAV4 2.0L Petrol · WO04 AFY

The 2004 Toyota RAV4 passed its most recent MOT on 16 January 2024 at 166,902 miles with no defects recorded, and the maintenance trend across the supplied history reads as stable with no escalating mechanical concerns. The record shows two failed tests on 3 January 2023 at 157,043 miles and 16 January 2024 at 166,902 miles, yet both failures carry no listed defects, with passes logged days later at near-identical mileages; this pattern suggests administrative or presentation anomalies at the test centre rather than genuine roadworthiness faults. Annual mileage averages roughly 7,586 miles against the vehicle's 22-year life, which is typical for the age. The odometer moved from 147,769 miles at the January 2022 pass to 157,076 miles by the January 2023 pass, then to 166,902 miles by January 2024, showing steady circa 9,000 to 10,000 mile yearly use with no sudden accumulation or long dormant gaps. The DVSA data itself is sparse and clean beyond the anomalous fails, recording no advisories on tyres, suspension bushes, brake discs, exhaust emissions, or structural corrosion across any entry. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of the chassis and underbody for structural rust given the vehicle's 2004 build date and salt-exposure risk over two decades. The tester logged no binding calipers or worn coil springs, but at 166,902 miles the original suspension components and drivetrain mounts warrant hands-on checks for play and fatigue. Verify the January 2024 fail-with-no-defect entry with DVLA paperwork, as the duplicate same-day pass implies a clerical rejection rather than a rectified fault.
