2006 Toyota RAV 2.2L Diesel · CX56 NBD

The vehicle presents a current roadworthy status following a passed MOT on 19 December 2025 at 155,146 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the broader record. The most recent pass came only days after two consecutive failures on 16 December 2025 and 8 November 2025, both at near-identical mileages of 155,146 and 154,156 respectively, yet the tester logged no defects on any of those three certificates. Such back-to-back failures with zero recorded faults suggest administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than a deterioration in mechanical condition. Annual mileage sits at a typical 7,757 miles for a 2006 model, with the odometer climbing from 131,917 miles at the November 2023 test to 139,797 by November 2024, then jumping 15,349 miles to 155,146 by the November 2025 failure. The clean pass in 2024 at 139,797 miles and the fault-free 2023 result show no advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions across the visible history. The sparse record gives little evidence of neglected consumables or deferred structural repairs. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion given the vehicle's twenty-year age and salt-exposure risk on a UK RAV. The unexplained December 2025 failures warrant a check of the DVSA refusal reasons and any associated rectification work, despite the absent defect lines. Verify the front coil springs, binding calipers, and tyre tread depth manually, as MOT silence does not confirm component life remaining beyond the test day.
