2010 Toyota RAV-4 2.0L Petrol · FE59 ATV

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a remarkably stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test conducted in January 2026 at 73,912 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects or advisories. This clean record across the last five annual tests since 2022 indicates that the vehicle has maintained a consistent standard and has not suffered from recurring mechanical failures or structural degradation during inspection. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a sixteen-year-old Toyota, averaging approximately 4,620 miles per year. Between January 2022 at 69,012 miles and January 2026 at 73,912 miles, the car covered only 4,900 miles. This consistent low-annual usage suggests short-distance trips, which typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components. The lack of any significant spikes in mileage between tests confirms the vehicle has not been subjected to heavy commercial- or high-intensity motorway use. Despite the clean history, a buyer must account for age-related decay in low-mileage vehicles. Rubber-based components such as suspension bushes, bushings, and tyre sidewalls perish over time regardless of distance travelled. A physical inspection should target the chassis for surface corrosion or structural rust, as long-standing vehicles can suffer from moisture retention in hidden cavities. Additionally, the brake system should be checked for pitting or seized calipers, as infrequent use often leads to disc corrosion and uneven wear.
