2009 Toyota RAV4 2.0L Petrol · FN09 SYV

The 2009 Toyota RAV4 presents a currently roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 2 April 2026 at 92,451 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, following a clean pass on 4 April 2025 at 87,443 miles. The vehicle shows no recurring advisories or mechanical faults across the available history, indicating consistent compliance with roadworthiness standards over the past three years. The recorded mileage of 92,451 at 17 years of age equates to a low average of roughly 5,438 miles per year. Annual accumulation has been modest and steady, rising from 81,904 miles at the March 2024 tests to 87,443 by April 2025 and 92,451 by April 2026. The DVSA data contains two failed entries on 31 March 2025 and 15 March 2024, yet both list no defects recorded, which suggests administrative or presentation anomalies at the testing centre rather than mechanical rejection. The sparse, clean record gives no evidence of neglected consumables or deferred structural repairs. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the vehicle's age and low-use profile. Low mileage with long standing periods accelerates corrosion on structural members and exhaust components more than high-mileage use. Verify underneath chassis rails and subframes for rust pitting not captured in the MOT pass results. Confirm the 2025 and 2024 failure entries were clerical by reviewing the VOSA failure reasons with the selling garage. Otherwise the RAV4's history implies a carefully stored, lightly driven example with no warning signs for major mechanical intervention in the near term.
