2004 Toyota RAV4 2.0L Petrol · GY04 AFF

This Toyota RAV4 is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 20 January 2026 at 131,024 miles passed with no defects recorded. While the vehicle failed its tests on 5 January 2026 and 13 January 2025, the lack of recorded defects in the history suggests these were likely administrative failures or minor issues rectified immediately. The vehicle has covered approximately 5,956 miles per year over its 22-year lifespan, which is low for this model. Mileage accumulation has remained consistent in recent years, increasing by 6,229 miles between January 2024 and January 2025, and a further 5,930 miles by January 2026. This steady usage pattern suggests the car has avoided long periods of standing, which typically reduces the risk of perished seals or seized calipers. Despite the clean MOT record, the age and low mileage of this chassis necessitate a physical inspection of the underbody. Buyers should specifically check for corrosion on the subframes and sills, as structural rust often develops regardless of mileage in older Japanese 4x4s. A manual check of the suspension bushes and coil springs is advised to ensure the rubber components have not degraded due to age. The absence of recorded advisories over the last three years is unusual for a vehicle of this vintage. A professional inspection should verify the actual condition of the brake discs and tyre tread depths to ensure the MOT records accurately reflect the current state of these consumables.
