2006 Toyota RAV4 2.2L Diesel · DA06 BHY

The 2006 Toyota RAV4 presents a currently roadworthy status following a pass on 9 September 2025 at 122,757 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend reads as stable across the recent record, with the latest pass showing a clean sheet and no advisories carried forward. A failed test on the same date at identical mileage, yet with no defects logged, points to an administrative or presentation error at the testing station rather than a mechanical fault. Annual mileage sits at a modest average of roughly 6,138 miles per year against the vehicle's twenty-year life, which is typical for this age of SUV. The odometer moved from 109,897 miles at the July 2023 pass to 114,760 miles by September 2024, then to 122,757 miles by September 2025. That equates to under 8,000 miles in each interval. The record shows a short gap between the July 2023 fail and pass spaced just six days apart at 109,827 and 109,897 miles, suggesting a quick retest after a minor correction. No rapid accumulation or standing-still periods are evident from the data supplied. The DVSA history flags no recurring faults, advisories, or structural concerns across any entry from 2023 to 2025. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of common age-related items not captured by a clean MOT: suspension bushes, front coil springs, brake disc wear, and underbody corrosion on a twenty-year-old monocoque. The twin 2025 entries with zero defects but a fail flag warrant a check of the DVSA portal to confirm no omitted rationale exists. Given the sparse but clean record, previous ownership appears to have kept basic upkeep current without neglected consumables or failed emissions. The low annual use likely limited drivetrain stress, though prolonged idle spells can still degrade tyres and brake calipers through moisture. A pre-purchase check of binding calipers and tyre sidewall condition remains sensible on this mileage profile.
