2005 Toyota RAV4 2.0L Petrol · FP05 ACJ

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status, having achieved a clean pass on 13 June 2025 at 105,862 miles. While the history shows two failures immediately prior to successful passes in both 2024 and 2025, the record indicates no specific defects were logged for those failures, suggesting either administrative errors or non-specific testing anomalies rather than a recurring mechanical decline. The trend remains consistent with no recorded advisories or faults across the last three successful testing cycles. At 21 years old, the recorded mileage of 105,862 miles represents a low usage profile of approximately 5,041 miles per year. The data shows significant intervals between tests, with only 1,124 miles covered between May 2023 and 2024, and just 775 miles between June 2024 and 2025. This extremely low annual mileage often leads to age-related degradation of rubber seals, suspension components, and brake lines due to long periods of standing rather than mechanical wear from high mileage. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and mounting points, as low-mileage older vehicles are prone to corrosion that remains hidden hidden. Given the infrequent use, inspect the suspension bushes for cracking and the brake calipers for seizing or pitting caused by lack of movement. Verify the age of the tyres and fluid condition, as tread depth may be deceptive if the rubber has perished over two decades of service.
