2009 Toyota RAV4 2.2L Diesel · SJ09 YJD

This vehicle demonstrates a stable and exceptionally clean roadworthiness trend. The most recent MOT on 16 September 2025 at 67,992 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to 2022, suggesting a vehicle that has been maintained to a high standard or has experienced very little mechanical stress. The mileage is remarkably low for a 2009 model, averaging roughly 4,000 miles per year. Between the September 2022 test at 62,146 miles and the September 2025 test at 67,992 miles, the car covered only 5,846 miles over three years. This low usage pattern implies the vehicle has spent significant time stationary, which often presents different risks than high-mileage wear. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components that degrade regardless of mileage. Low-use vehicles often suffer from perished rubber seals, seized brake calipers, or flat spots on tyres. Check the brake discs for surface corrosion and ensure the suspension bushes have not cracked due to age and lack of articulation. The MOT record shows a failure and immediate pass on 12 September 2023 at 63,874 miles, though the specific defect is not listed. Given the otherwise flawless history, this was likely a minor consumable issue. Verify the current state of the battery and all fluid levels, as long periods of inactivity can lead to premature battery failure and moisture accumulation in the oil.
