2006 Toyota RAV4 2.0L Petrol · LD06 OWM

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a remarkably stable maintenance trend over the last five years. The most recent test conducted in September 2025 at 101,317 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, continuing a streak of clean passes dating back to 2021. This consistency suggests the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that prevents immediate mechanical or structural failures during the annual testing process. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a twenty-year-old Toyota, averaging approximately 5,066 miles per year. Between September 2021 at 81,547 miles and September 2025 at 101,317 miles, the car covered 19,770 miles, showing consistent and low-usage habits. Such low mileage typically implies less wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though low mileage on an older vehicle can sometimes mask the degradation of rubber-based components or brake seals if the car has sat stationary for extended periods. Despite the clean MOT history, a buyer must perform a physical inspection of components prone to age-related perish and corrosion. Particular attention should be paid to the underbody chassis and suspension mounting points, as structural rust can develop on older RAVs regardless of mileage driven. The buyer should also inspect the suspension bushes for cracking and check the brake calipers for seized pistons, as low-frequency use can lead to uneven pad wear or internal corrosion within the braking system that a standard MOT test might not fully flag.
