Our Verdict
Proceed with caution; while the mileage is relatively low for the age, recurring issues with corrosion and a recent failed emission test suggest a vehicle that requires mechanical attention before a safe purchase.
When inspecting this RAV4, prioritize a check of the underbody. The MOT history repeatedly notes corroded rear brake pipes and coil springs, which are common failure points for rust. Ensure these have been replaced rather than just noted. Ask the owner for records regarding the front differential oil leak, as this has been referenced in multiple advisories since 2021.
Check the service history specifically for the 2.0L petrol engine's health. The recent carbon monoxide failure in 2025 suggests the engine might be running poorly, perhaps due to faulty oxygen sensors or worn spark plugs. Additionally, inspect the windscreen, as it has had a recurring chip noted for over a decade, which may eventually lead to a larger crack.
