2009 Toyota RAV4 2.2L Diesel · SL09 ABX

The vehicle presents a stable and positive roadworthiness profile, evidenced by the most recent MOT pass on April 1, 2026, at 64,885 miles with no recorded defects. This follows a consistent trend of clean passes over the preceding years. Although a failure occurred in April 2025, the immediate re-test just one mile later suggests a minor issue that was rectified promptly by the owner to maintain legal road standards. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 17-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,800 miles per year. Between February 2023 at 59,333 miles and April 2026 at 64,885 miles, the car covered only 5,552 miles. This low annual usage suggests infrequent operation which typically reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine. However, such low mileage figures can sometimes lead to age-related degradation of rubber-based components and fluid breakdown that does not always manifest as mileage failures. Given the lack of recorded mechanical faults, a buyer should focus a physical inspection on components susceptible to age rather than mileage-related wear. Inspect the suspension for perished bushes and coil springs, as rubber can become brittle over long periods of standing. Check the brake discs for corrosion or seized calipers, which often occur when vehicles are not driven regularly. Additionally, examine the chassis for structural rust, particularly around the sills and mounting points, as these are the primary risks for this Toyota generation regardless of the low mileage recorded.
