2004 Toyota RAV4 2.0L Petrol · CK04 YPT

The vehicle's current roadworthiness status is currently failing, as evidenced by the most recent MOT test conducted on 2025-08-26 at 70,735 miles, which resulted in a failed test. This indicates that the vehicle continues to exhibit mechanical risks despite the lack of recent repairs, suggesting a maintenance trend that is not improving but rather deteriorating. The failure in the September 2025 test was triggered by a combination of issues including a nearside front position lamp not working, rear brake pad wearing thin, and an offside rear nail in the tyre, all of which require immediate attention. The mileage pattern reveals a significant gap between the vehicle's age and its recorded operational hours. The 2004 model is approximately 22 years old, yet the vehicle has maintained only 70,735 miles, averaging roughly 3,215 miles per year. This low mileage relative to age suggests that the vehicle may have been used for very short periods or for light use, potentially indicating that basic upkeep or regular servicing was skipped, which would accelerate the wear on components such as suspension bushings and brake discs. Given the recurring faults and the structural integrity risks identified in the MOT history, a buyer must inspect the vehicle in person to assess the condition of suspension components, brake discs, and structural rust. The presence of corroded suspension arms and failing electrical systems necessitates a thorough visual inspection of the chassis, exhaust emissions, and drivetrain to determine if the vehicle is currently roadworthy or requires urgent servicing before the next MOT.
