2018 Toyota RAV4 2.5L Petrol · AE68 BYF

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness evidenced by a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test on 21 October 2025 at 17,737 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This trend indicates a remarkably stable maintenance history where the vehicle has remained in a compliant state without the mechanical degradation or structural corrosion typically seen in cars of this age. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,217 miles per year. Between October 2022 at 16,835 miles and October 2025 at 17,737 miles, the car covered only 902 miles over three years. This pattern suggests the vehicle was used for short journeys or sat for extended periods. While low mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, the lack of use means the structural integrity of the vehicle remains uncompromised by mileage. Given the lack of recorded mechanical faults or advisories, a physical inspection should focus on issues related to low-usage storage. A buyer must check for perishation in rubber components such as suspension bushes and wiper blades, which age regardless of miles driven. The brakes may suffer from surface rust or seizing due to inactivity, so the tester should verify for free calipers and smooth movement. Additionally, the tyres should be inspected for flat spotting or dry cracking despite having ample tread depth.
