2004 Toyota RAV4 2.0L Petrol · AV04 RMX

The 2004 Toyota RAV4 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 26 August 2025 at 189,534 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three prior annual tests from 2022 to 2024 also passed cleanly. The vehicle shows no worsening faults, recurring advisories, or structural concerns across the available history. Annual mileage sits at roughly 8,600 miles, typical for a 22-year-old vehicle. The records show steady accumulation: 159,454 miles in July 2022, 172,139 in August 2023, 183,413 in July 2024, and 189,534 in August 2025. The sparse but clean history gives no sign of long idle periods or sudden high-use bursts. One anomaly appears on 22 July 2022, where the tester logged a fail and a pass on the same day at identical mileage; with no defects listed, this points to an administrative re-test rather than a genuine mechanical fault. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the clean sheet. At 189,534 miles the original suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs will carry two decades of fatigue even without MOT-flagged wear. Drivetrain mounts and exhaust emissions components deserve close scrutiny for age-related corrosion. Previous owners clearly kept basic statutory upkeep current, yet the absence of advisories means consumable condition remains unknown. Check tyre tread depth, wiper blades, and underbody structural integrity for rust before purchase.
