2010 Toyota RAV-4 2.2L Diesel · OV59 VRP

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent pass record over the last three years. The most recent test in October 2025 at 91,014 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum legal standards. This follows a period of clean passes in 2024 and 2022, suggesting that the previous owners have maintained the vehicle to a standard that avoids immediate mechanical or structural failures. At 16 years old, the recorded mileage of 91,014 miles averages to approximately 5,700 miles per year, which is significantly lower than the UK average. The data shows very consistent usage, with roughly 8,800 miles driven between September 2023 and October 2024, and another 8,800 miles between October 2024 and October 2025. The single failure in September 2023 at 71,989 miles was immediately rectified, as the vehicle passed the very following day, indicating a minor issue that was quickly addressed rather than a pattern of neglect. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components often associated with low-mileage vehicles that sit for extended periods. While the records are clean, low usage can lead to perished rubber-based components like bushes and seals, as well as deep-seated corrosion on the chassis and exhaust system. Given the age of the RAV-4, it is vital to check for structural rust and inspect the brake system for seised calipers, which are common in older cars that are not driven frequently enough to keep components moving.
