2006 Toyota RAV-4 2.0L Petrol · LC06 LZL

The vehicle's roadworthiness is currently assessed as failing, based on the cumulative evidence of two fatal MOT failures recorded between 2025 and 2024. The most recent test on 2025-10-10 at 183,393 miles was passed, but the preceding failure on 2025-10-02 at 183,286 miles indicates that the vehicle has not maintained safety standards over the past two years. This pattern of two consecutive failures suggests a lack of consistent maintenance, likely due to a gap in service or a lack of regular inspection, rather than a single catastrophic event. The failure on 2025-09-20 at 183,087 miles further confirms that the vehicle has not been tested for safety in a sufficient period to warrant a pass, even if the final test on 2025-10-10 was successful. The mileage accumulation relative to the vehicle's age presents a significant concern. The vehicle is approximately 20 years old with a total mileage of 183,393 miles, which equates to roughly 9,170 miles per year. This rate is considered typical for a used car of this age, meaning that the mileage has been accumulating steadily without any noticeable gaps. However, the presence of two distinct failure dates within this period suggests that the vehicle has not been driven in a way that would cause wear on critical components, or that the owner has not been diligent about routine servicing. The fact that the last test was passed on 2025-10-10 at 183,393 miles, but the previous two tests failed, indicates that the vehicle has not been tested for safety in a sufficient period to warrant a pass. Given the recurring faults and the specific mechanical components flagged in the history, a buyer must inspect the vehicle in person to assess the condition of suspension bushes, coil springs, binding calipers, brake discs, and corrosion.
