2014 Toyota RAV4 2.2L Diesel · EJ 6000

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status with a consistent pass record over the last decade. The most recent test on 21 January 2026 at 69,917 miles resulted in a pass with only a minor defect regarding the nearside front headlamp lens. This follows a period of clean results after a brief failure in January 2025 for a malfunctioning tyre pressure monitoring system which was rectified immediately, suggesting the owner addresses specific safety-related failures promptly. The mileage profile is notably low for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,800 miles per year. The data shows steady usage patterns, such as the consistent increase from 41,014 miles in March 2022 to 69,917 miles by January 2026. This low annual mileage typically reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though it can sometimes lead to degradation of rubber components like suspension bushes or brake seals if the vehicle has sat stationary for extended periods between intervals. A physical inspection should focus on the braking system and lighting components, as the 2019 test at 24,346 miles flagged thin front brake pads and pitted discs. While these have passed since, the buyer should verify the current thickness of the rotors to ensure replacement is not due. The defective headlamp lens noted in the 2026 test also requires attention to ensure optimal light output. Given the low mileage, a thorough check for surface corrosion on the underbody is advisable to ensure that the lack of use has not allowed for structural oxidation.
