2006 Toyota RAV4 2.2L Diesel · FV06 YMC

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthiness rating of 75, indicating that the MOT has passed, though the most recent test was conducted in September 2025. This suggests that the maintenance trend is stable, with no evidence of a worsening pattern since the last inspection, although the vehicle has experienced significant mileage accumulation over the past decade. The 2025 test at 144,439 miles confirms that the engine, drivetrain, and suspension components remain structurally sound, with no signs of severe wear that would necessitate an immediate repair order. The mileage history reveals a clear pattern of rapid accumulation, with the vehicle traveling approximately 7,222 miles per year. This pace is consistent with its age and suggests that the owner has maintained the car with minimal consumption of consumables such as tyres, wiper blades, or brake pads. However, the data indicates that the vehicle has not been subject to a full MOT in the past three years, creating a notable gap in its maintenance history. The absence of a recent MOT test means that the most recent inspection was likely performed at a much lower mileage level, potentially around 124,107 miles, which falls within the acceptable range for a 2006 vehicle. Given the recurring faults and the current roadworthiness rating of 75, the buyer should inspect the vehicle in person for structural integrity and mechanical components. The most critical areas to evaluate are the suspension bushings and coil springs, which have been flagged as corroded in multiple years. These components are prone to failure under the high mileage and wear patterns observed, so a physical inspection is required to assess the condition of the suspension and ensure that the vehicle will not fail in the future. Similarly, the brake discs and calipers must be examined for pitting or wear, as the history of these components suggests they may need replacement or careful monitoring.
