2010 Toyota RAV-4 2.2L Diesel · AV60 BJE

The 2010 Toyota RAV-4 holds a roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend, confirmed by the most recent DVSA test on 8 September 2025 at 67,246 miles which passed with no defects recorded. Relative to the current date of 10 July 2026, that examination sits ten months past, keeping the history current. Five consecutive annual tests from 31 August 2021 through 2025 each returned a pass with zero advisories, showing no worsening mechanical or structural faults across the period. Mileage accumulation reflects light use for a sixteen-year-old vehicle. The odometer advanced from 47,858 miles at the 31 August 2021 test to 67,246 miles by September 2025, a total of 19,388 miles over four years, averaging roughly 4,847 miles per annum. No abrupt gaps or rapid accumulation appear in the sequence; each test occurred within days of late August or early September, showing disciplined annual testing. Such low yearly coverage implies the RAV-4 spent extended periods stationary, a pattern that can mask deterioration not visible during a brief MOT inspection. Despite the unblemished record, a buyer should physically scrutinise age-related components that MOT passes do not detail. The tester noted no corrosion, yet structural integrity around sills and subframes warrants lift inspection for hidden rust. Suspension bushes and coil springs on a 2010 model may have hardened or cracked through infrequent movement. Brake discs and calipers could show superficial condition yet bind after long standing; verify handbrake efficiency and fluid age. The absence of advisories on tyres or wiper blades across all five tests suggests consumables were renewed before each examination. Prospective owner should still confirm tread depth and rubber pliability, as a car covering 4,200 miles yearly may wear tyres unevenly from prolonged parking. A pre-purchase inspection remains prudent given the vehicle's age, though the documentary history implies conscientious upkeep.
