2004 Toyota RAV4 2.0L Petrol · GY04 AHA

The 2004 Toyota RAV4 shows a passed MOT from 16 May 2022 at 135,989 miles with no defects recorded, leaving it legally roadworthy at that point. The maintenance trend across the available record reads as stable, with no advisories or mechanical faults flagged in any test. That said, the most recent test sits over four years behind today's date of 16 July 2026, so the vehicle has no verified roadworthiness evidence for the intervening period. Mileage progression stays modest for a 22-year-old vehicle. The record moves from 120,591 miles on 1 June 2020 to 126,535 miles at the 17 May 2021 failure, then 126,536 miles on the 18 May 2021 pass, reaching 135,989 miles by May 2022. That averages roughly 6,181 miles per year, typical for the age, with no rapid accumulation or suspicious jumps. The data itself is sparse, covering only three years, and shows clean sheets throughout apart from two same-day fail-pass pairs logged with no defects noted. The May 2021 and May 2022 entries each list a failure immediately followed by a pass at near-identical mileages and with no defects recorded. This pattern suggests administrative or presentation anomalies in the DVSA log rather than genuine mechanical rejection, though a buyer should confirm the original test certificates. With no advisories on suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, or structural corrosion across the history, the documented condition looks sound. In person, the buyer should still verify structural integrity for underbody rust given the vehicle's age and the four-year test gap. Inspect tyres, wiper blades, and brake calipers for consumable wear accumulated since 2022. A fresh independent inspection is warranted before purchase, as the MOT record offers no coverage for the period from mid-2022 to now.
