TOYOTA RAV42007 · 2.2L Diesel

This vehicle presents an exceptionally stable roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT on 26 August 2025 at 127,783 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent five-year trend of passing every inspection without a single flagged fault, which is uncommon for a vehicle of this age. The mileage accumulation is steady and aligns with typical usage for a 19-year-old car. Between July 2021 at 89,881 miles and August 2025 at 127,783 miles, the vehicle covered 37,902 miles. The annual increase has remained relatively consistent, with a slight uptick between August 2023 and August 2024 where the odometer rose by 10,680 miles. There are no erratic gaps or sudden spikes in usage that would suggest periods of prolonged standing or excessive commercial use. The absence of any advisories regarding suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions over the last five years suggests a high standard of preventative maintenance. The previous owners likely addressed wear-and-tear items before they reached the threshold of an MOT failure. Such a clean record implies a disciplined approach to upkeep rather than a reactive one. A physical inspection should still focus on areas the MOT tester may overlook or that develop rapidly between tests. Given the vehicle's age and the RAV4's known vulnerabilities, check for chassis corrosion and the condition of the rear subframe. While the records show no structural failures, verifying the integrity of the underbody and checking for oil leaks around the engine seals will confirm if the mechanical condition matches the pristine paperwork.
