2009 Toyota RAV4 2.2L Diesel · PX09 WNV

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status, though the record shows a pattern of immediate failure followed by passing. The most recent test in September 2022 at 180,349 miles passed with no defects or advisories, indicating the car was in a compliant condition at that time. However, the history of failing just days before a pass in both 2021 and 2022 suggests the owner only addresses minor faults, such as light bulbs or minor mechanical adjustments, when specifically prompted by a test failure. At 17 years old, the recorded 180,349 miles represent an average of approximately 10,600 miles per annum, which aligns with typical UK usage patterns for an SUV. The mileage accumulation appears consistent, with roughly 7,000 miles covered between the 2020 and 2021 tests, and approximately 13,400 miles between the 2021 and 2022 tests. Because the last recorded MOT is now nearly four years old as of June 2026, the current mechanical state of the vehicle is unverified and potentially unreliable. The significant gap in testing data suggests the vehicle may have been off the road or used without recent professional safety checks. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of components prone to wear on high-mileage Toyota RAV4. Given the age and mileage, checking for structural corrosion on the subframe and exhaust mounting points is critical as these are common failure areas for this generation. You should also inspect for signs of worn suspension bushes and leaking shock absorbers, as the clean MOT record does not cover these preventative items. Since there is no data beyond 2022, verifying the condition of the brake discs and the integrity of the tyres is essential to ensure no significant degradation has developed during the long period of unrecorded use.
