2005 Toyota RAV-4 2.0L Petrol · AX54 HFR

The 2005 Toyota RAV-4 presents a clean roadworthiness status. The most recent test on 5 November 2025 at 109,039 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the maintenance trend across the available history is stable with no advisories or failures at any stage. The recorded mileage shows light use for a 21-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 5,192 miles per year. The test on 1 June 2019 captured 88,175 miles, rising to 96,174 by 3 August 2020, then 101,759 on 24 July 2021, 108,169 on 27 July 2022, and 109,039 on 5 November 2025. A gap exists between the 2022 and 2025 tests of over three years, yet only 870 miles were added in that period, indicating the vehicle stood largely idle. The sparse record shows no rapid accumulation or consumable wear cycles. Given the clean MOT history, no recurring faults appear in suspension bushes, brake discs, calipers, or structural corrosion. The long standing period from 2022 to 2025 raises the risk of perished rubber components, seized handbrake mechanisms, and moisture-driven underbody rust not captured in the pass result. A buyer should physically inspect the exhaust system for internal rot, check coil springs and suspension arms for cracking, and confirm brake calipers are free from binding after the idle spell. Verify tyre sidewalls for age-related crazing despite adequate tread.
