2010 Toyota RAV4 2.0L Diesel · FV60 TXC

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness based on a consistent history of clean passes. The most recent test conducted in January 2026 at 84,767 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, maintaining a stable trend of excellence over the last five years. This consistency suggests the vehicle has been maintained to a high standard and does not currently suffer from recurring mechanical failures or escalating structural issues. The mileage pattern is notably low for a sixteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,300 miles per year. There is a significant gap in records between October 2022 at 65,619 miles and November 2024 at 74,944 miles, during which the car covered roughly 9,300 miles. Despite this period of lower use, the vehicle passed without issue, indicating it remained functional and sound while stationary. The low annual mileage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, but can sometimes lead to age-related degradation if the vehicle sits for extended periods. While the MOT history shows no recorded faults, a physical inspection should focus on components susceptible to low-mileage age effects. A buyer must check the rubber components, such as suspension bushes, CV boots, and tyre sidewalls for cracking or dry rot despite the low mileage. The braking system should be examined for surface corrosion or seized calipers, as low-use vehicles often suffer from brake discs that pit or rust uneven after long periods of standing. Given the vehicle's age, the chassis should be inspected for structural rust to ensure the integrity remains as sound as the clean test records suggest.
