2010 Toyota RAV-4 2.2L Diesel · CE60 FDM

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clear trend of improving maintenance standards. Following a period of recorded faults in 2021, the car has passed its last four annual inspections without any defects or advisories. The most recent test conducted in September 2025 at 142,235 miles confirms that previous mechanical and structural concerns have been addressed and that the vehicle currently meets all minimum safety requirements. The mileage pattern remains consistent with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 8,900 miles per year. There is a significant jump of 29,625 miles between August 2022 and September 2023, which indicates a period of high intensity compared to the earlier years. However, the mileage accumulation has since moderated, with roughly 26,500 miles covered in the interval between the 2023 and 2024 tests. This regularity suggests the vehicle is used consistently, which often helps prevent the seal failures associated with long periods of standing. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension and braking systems to ensure the faults noted in 2021 were not merely masked. The 2021 record flagged split rear trailing arms, corroded coil springs, and a leaking offside rear shock absorber. While these did not reappear in subsequent tests, a manual inspection should check for any new corrosion on the springs or play in the suspension bushes. Given the history of thin front pads and pitted discs, verifying the current thickness of the brake components and the surface condition of the rotors is essential to ensure they were replaced with high-quality parts.
