2003 Toyota RAV4 2.0L Petrol · GF03 FGE

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, having a clean pass in its most recent test on 18 February 2026 at 119,453 miles. While the car passed with no defects, the initial failure on that same day suggests a minor issue was identified and rectified immediately prior to the retest. The overall trend over the last three years indicates a vehicle that is maintained to a standard sufficient to prevent recurring mechanical failures. At 23 years old, the recorded mileage of 119,453 miles represents a low average of approximately 5,194 miles per year. The data shows a consistent usage pattern, with roughly 4,700 miles covered between February 2024 and February 2025, and another 4,341 miles between February 2025 and February 2026. This low mileage suggests limited strain on the drivetrain and engine components, though it also increases age-related degradation of rubber components and fluid seals which perish over time regardless of distance travelled. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and underbody, as vehicles of this era are prone to corrosion that may not always trigger an MOT failure until it reaches a critical threshold. Given the low mileage, check the suspension bushes and coil springs for perished rubber or cracks caused by age. Additionally, inspect the brake calipers for binding or seized pistons, as low-use vehicles often suffer from uneven wear on the discs and pads despite the clean electronic record.
