2007 Toyota RAV-4 2.2L Diesel · CU07 LNN

The 2007 Toyota RAV-4 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 30 May 2025 at 103,714 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior clean pass dated 5 April 2024 at 97,016 miles confirms the vehicle has cleared consecutive examinations without outstanding advisories. The history shows no worsening mechanical faults across the sampled record. Recorded mileage sits at 103,714 against an approximate 19-year lifespan, equating to roughly 5,459 miles per year. This is low for the age and points to light use or extended standing periods. The gap between the 24 March 2023 test at 91,986 miles and the 29 October 2021 test at 89,995 miles shows only 1,991 miles in 17 months, while the jump to 97,014 miles by April 2024 suggests moderate catch-up use. A failed test on 5 April 2024 at 97,014 miles was immediately followed by a pass at 97,016 miles the same day with no defects logged, indicating a clerical or procedural rejection rather than a genuine fault. The absence of recorded advisories across all entries means the DVSA dataset gives no flag for suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody rust given the vehicle's age and likely periods of inactivity. Standing time promotes seizing of calipers and degradation of rubber components not always visible at test. Low annual mileage and a clean MOT trail imply previous owners kept basic statutory compliance but offer no proof of proactive servicing. Verify service history and check for perishing tyres or flat-spotted rubber before purchase.
