2007 Toyota RAV4 2.2L Diesel · RF07 EJV

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile with a clean record in its most recent inspections. The April 2022 test at 129,541 miles returned no defects, mirroring the clean results seen in December 2020 and June 2018. This indicates that the vehicle has moved past the period of more frequent consumable failures seen in its mid-life years and is currently maintaining a consistent standard of roadworthiness. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 6,800 miles per year. The data shows steady progress from 41,081 miles in April 2010 to 129,541 miles in April 2022. There are no significant gaps in usage or periods of prolonged inactivity evident in the recorded intervals. The slow, steady increase in mileage suggests regular, predictable use rather than erratic driving patterns or long periods of sitting idle. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system and tyre condition. While the 2010 and 2011 tests flagged thin brake pads, pitted discs, and a worn nearside rear disc, these issues appear to have been addressed given the subsequent clean records. The 2015 and 2016 tests highlighted recurring issues with tyre tread depth and parking brake lever travel. Although these were resolved to pass the MOT, the history suggests these components require regular monitoring. The 2016 failure also noted a missing seat belt buckle and ineffective windscreen wipers. While these are minor items, they reflect a period where basic upkeep was less attentive. Given the vehicle's age, a thorough check of the suspension bushes and any potential structural corrosion should accompany the inspection of the brakes and tyres to ensure the long-term integrity of the chassis.
