2005 Toyota RAV4 2.0L Petrol · FN55 GFJ

This Toyota RAV4 presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent pass rate. The most recent MOT on 22 April 2025 at 121,512 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a similar pattern from the previous three years, suggesting a vehicle that is maintained to a standard that consistently meets minimum legal requirements. The mileage is notably low for a 21 year old vehicle, averaging roughly 5,786 miles per year. Between May 2022 and April 2025, the odometer moved from 118,034 to 121,512 miles, confirming a very low annual usage of approximately 1,150 miles over the last three years. Such low activity often indicates the car has spent significant time stationary, which can lead to specific degradation issues not always captured in a standard MOT. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components prone to deterioration during periods of inactivity. Check for perished rubber seals, cracked suspension bushes, and the condition of the tyres for flat spots or sidewall cracking. While the MOT history shows no recorded failures for corrosion, the age of the chassis necessitates a thorough check for structural rust, particularly around the sills and subframes. Verify the brake system for any signs of seizing or binding calipers, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from sticking pistons. The absence of advisories over the last five years is positive, but the lack of recorded wear on consumables suggests the owner may have performed maintenance outside of the MOT process or that the vehicle has simply seen very little road use.
