2007 Toyota RAV4 2.0L Petrol · DU07 KNA

This Toyota RAV4 has maintained a consistent MOT pass record without any recorded defects across five consecutive tests, most recently passing on 19 February 2025 at 90,536 miles. The absence of advisories or failures suggests the vehicle has undergone regular, if not exemplary, maintenance over the past decade. The most recent test, just over 17 months ago, aligns with the standard 12-month MOT interval, indicating compliance with legal requirements. There is no evidence of recurring mechanical issues or escalating problems, though the lack of advisories also means no documented pre-existing concerns were addressed between tests. The recorded mileage of 90,536 miles over nearly 19 years reflects an exceptionally low annual average of approximately 4,765 miles. This suggests either minimal usage or prolonged periods of storage, which could impact fluid degradation, suspension stiffness, and tyre condition. The mileage increments between tests—ranging from 948 to 1,049 miles annually—are consistent but unusually low for a vehicle of this age, particularly given the RAV4’s typical usage patterns. Without additional service records, it is impossible to confirm whether fluids were changed or components like brakes and suspension were serviced at intervals recommended by Toyota. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of high-wear items not covered by the test. The suspension—particularly coil springs, bushes, and shock absorbers—should be examined for uneven wear or corrosion, as prolonged inactivity can accelerate deterioration. Brake discs and pads, while not flagged in MOTs, may require assessment for uneven thickness or glazing, especially if the vehicle has been stored for extended periods. Tyres, despite passing tread depth checks, should be inspected for uneven wear or embedded debris, which could indicate alignment issues or improper storage. Structural integrity, particularly around wheel arches and sills, warrants scrutiny for corrosion, as low mileage does not preclude rust development in exposed areas.
