2002 Toyota RAV4 2.0L Petrol · GD51 AWA

The vehicle presents a generally roadworthy profile with a stable maintenance trend over the last three years. The most recent test on 28 January 2026 at 162,966 miles resulted in a pass with no defects, following a failure just one day prior. This suggests the current owner is proactive in rectifying identified issues immediately to ensure compliance. The clean passes in January 2025 and January 2024 indicate that the core mechanical and structural components have maintained a consistent standard despite the vehicle's age. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a 24-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,790 miles per year. This low annual usage typically reduces the strain on the drivetrain and engine components compared to high-mile counterparts. Between January 2024 and January 2025, the car covered 10,605 miles, while another 11,754 miles were recorded between January 2025 and January 2026. This steady accumulation indicates regular use rather than long periods of standing, which often helps prevent seal degradation and brake caliper seizing. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and suspension components, as these are common failure points for this generation of RAV4. While the record shows no current defects, the failures in early 2024 and early 2026 suggest that minor consumable items such as bulbs, wipers, or slight light adjustments may require frequent attention. Check specifically for corrosion on the rear sills and subframes, as the UK environment often leads to significant surface rust over twenty-four years regardless of mileage driven.
