2003 Toyota RAV-4 2.0L Petrol · LJ53 GGP

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of passes over the last three years. Following a single failure in December 2022, the Toyota RAV-4 has cleared three consecutive annual MOT tests without a single recorded defect or even advisories. The most recent test in November 2025 at 180,590 miles indicates that the vehicle currently meets the minimum safety standards, suggesting that the owner has maintained proactive mechanical upkeep. At 23 years old, the recorded mileage of 180,590 miles averages approximately 7,852 miles per annum, which aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with roughly 7,800 miles covered between November 2024 and November 2025, and approximately 8,500 miles between December 2023 and November 2024. This regularity suggests the vehicle has been used regularly rather than sitting for long periods, which often helps prevent the degradation of seals and fluid components. While the MOT record is currently clean, a buyer must perform a physical inspection of high-wear areas common to this age and mileage bracket. Given the high mileage, focus on the structural integrity of the chassis, specifically the rear subframe and suspension mounting points, where corrosion often develops on older RAV-4 models. You should also inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of per or tearing, as the MOT only identifies these issues once they reach a point of functional failure.
