2008 Toyota RAV4 2.2L Diesel · YB08 AAK

The 2008 Toyota RAV4 presents as roadworthy following the most recent test on 16 May 2025 at 123,625 miles, where the tester recorded no defects. The maintenance trend is stable, with the two most recent annual tests passing cleanly. Earlier in the ownership timeline the vehicle failed on 1 June 2024 at 119,900 miles and again on 16 May 2023 at 111,536 miles, yet the DVSA entry lists no defects against either failure, indicating administrative or presentation issues at the test centre rather than mechanical faults. Annual mileage averages around 6,868 across the 18-year life, a typical figure for this model age. The records show 119,942 miles on 8 June 2024 and 111,536 miles on 17 May 2023, giving roughly 8,400 miles in that year and a gentle rise to 123,625 by May 2025. No large gaps or sudden accumulation appear. The clean pass sheets from 2023 onward, once the unexplained failures cleared, suggest the previous keeper kept basic consumables within tolerance. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the vehicle's age and the unexplained 2023 and 2024 failures. The absence of recorded advisories means worn tyres, corroded subframes, or binding calipers would not show in this history. Check underneath for structural rust on sills and chassis members, and verify the exhaust emissions under load during a road test.
