2008 Toyota RAV4 2.2L Diesel · YB08 AAZ

The vehicle shows a stable maintenance trend based on the provided MOT history, with the most recent test on 20 June 2025 resulting in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a series of clean passes in May 2024, November 2022, and November 2021. The absence of recorded failures or advisories across these four testing intervals suggests that no immediate mechanical or structural issues were flagged by the DVSA testers during these specific inspections. The recorded mileage of 154,591 miles over an eighteen-year lifespan averages approximately 8,588 miles per year. This level of usage is consistent with typical long-term patterns for a vehicle of this age. The MOT records do not indicate any periods of excessive mileage accumulation between tests, nor do they show evidence of long-term inactivity that might lead to seized components or perished rubber seals. While the MOT history is currently free of recorded defects, a physical inspection remains necessary to assess components that the MOT testing regime does not cover in depth. A buyer should specifically examine the condition of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and drive shafts, as these often show wear on vehicles approaching 150,000 miles. Given the age of the Toyota RAV4, checking for structural corrosion on the underside and the integrity of the exhaust system is also advisable. The lack of recorded advisories regarding brake wear or tyre tread depth in the recent tests means there is no documented evidence of neglect in these areas. However, the tester should manually check for binding calipers or uneven brake disc wear during a viewing. Verifying the condition of all fluid levels and checking for any signs of oil leaks will complement the clean MOT data provided.
