2004 Toyota RAV4 2.0L Petrol · TM04 ABM

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent inspection in May 2025. The maintenance trend appears remarkably stable, as the car consistently passes tests throughout 2024 and 2025 despite immediate failures resolved on the same day. This suggests that any minor issues identified during the testing are being addressed promptly, maintaining a consistent standard of operation over the last several years. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 22-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,260 miles per year. Between May 2023 and May 2024, the car covered roughly 1,625 miles, indicating periods of very light use or long stretches where the vehicle remained stationary. While this low mileage suggests less wear on the engine and drivetrain, the long intervals between uses can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components or fluid issues that are not reflected on the odometer alone. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension bushings and seals, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from dry rot or cracking parts rather than mechanical wear. Given the age of the Toyota, it is vital to check for structural rust on the chassis and artwork arches, which is a common vulnerability for this generation of RAV4. Additionally, verify the condition of the brakes and tyres to ensure they have not seized or perished due to the long periods of inactivity suggested by the mileage data.
