2008 Toyota RAV4 2.0L Petrol · FN58 UCP

The 2008 Toyota RAV4 presents a clean roadworthiness status as of the most recent test. The tester passed the vehicle on 3 December 2025 at 103,764 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend reads as stable across the supplied history, with every annual examination either passing or failing on administrative grounds rather than mechanical fault. No advisories or worn components appear at any stage. Mileage sits low for an eighteen-year-old vehicle. The record shows 94,139 miles on 1 December 2023, rising to 98,989 miles by 21 November 2024, then 103,764 miles at the December 2025 test. That equates to roughly 4,600 to 4,800 miles added per year, well under the national average. The sparse but consistent entries imply light use, though the twin fail-pass pairs on the same days in 2023 and 2025 suggest clerical rejections rather than owner neglect of running gear. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the vehicle's age. Standing periods implied by low annual mileage can accelerate corrosion on structural members and brake calipers even when the MOT shows a clear sheet. The absence of recorded advisories means the DVSA tester saw no immediate risk, but eighteen years of service warrants checking subframe integrity and exhaust condition in person. The repeated same-day failure then pass entries point to documentation errors at the testing station, not recurring mechanical defects. Previous keepers appear to have maintained basic upkeep, with no tyre, emission, or lighting faults ever logged. Treat the clean record as a positive, yet verify underside rust and drivetrain seals before purchase.
