2003 Toyota RAV4 2.0L Petrol · FP03 XOW

The 2003 Toyota RAV4 presents a clean and stable MOT history, with five consecutive passes from April 2022 through to the most recent test on 14 April 2026 at 126,529 miles. No defects or advisories were recorded during this entire period, indicating consistent roadworthiness and a lack of recurring mechanical issues over the past four years of testing. Mileage accumulation is consistent and low for the vehicle's age. The recorded increases show an average annual mileage of approximately 5,500 to 6,800 miles between each test date, with no significant gaps or periods of inactivity suggested by the data. This pattern of gentle, regular use is favourable for a 23-year-old vehicle, as it suggests the drivetrain and major components have not been subjected to excessive wear from high annual mileage, though age-related deterioration remains a consideration. A buyer should still conduct a thorough physical inspection focusing on age-related perishables. While the MOT history is clear, the vehicle's age necessitates careful examination of the suspension bushes and coil springs for perishing or fatigue, and the brake system for caliper binding or disc condition beyond the basic pass criteria. Particular attention must be paid to structural integrity, inspecting the sills, wheel arches, and underbody for any corrosion, as this is a critical failure point on vehicles of this era. The exhaust system should also be checked for integrity and significant corrosion.
