2004 Toyota RAV4 2.0L Petrol · OL04 AND

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness based on a consistently stable maintenance trend. The most recent inspection conducted on 14 June 2025 at 77,785 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, mirroring the clean results across the last four annual tests. This consistency suggests that the mechanical and safety components have been maintained to a high standard over time without the emergence of recurring failures or escalating mechanical issues. The mileage profile is notably low for a vehicle from 2004, averaging approximately 3,500 miles per year. There is a significant gap in data between May 2022 at 60,529 miles and June 2021 at 74,423 miles, where the vehicle covered nearly 14,000 miles in a single year. Since then, the usage has reverted to a much lower pace, roughly 900 miles per annum. While low mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, it can sometimes lead to age-related degradation of rubber-based components and fluid breakdown due to periods of inactivity. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components susceptible to age-related wear despite the low mileage history. Given the vehicle's age, a thorough check of the chassis for structural corrosion and sub-frame rust is essential, as the MOT only identifies significant structural weakness. Inspect the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking or perish, as these can degrade over time regardless of distance travelled. Additionally, verify the brake discs for pitting or corrosion and ensure calipers have not seized due to the low usage frequency noted in the records.
