2006 Toyota RAV4 2.0L Petrol · WE02 FRY

The 2006 Toyota RAV4 presents a highly stable maintenance trend, consistently meeting roadworthiness standards over the past four years. The most recent examination on 11 March 2026 at 129,465 miles resulted in a pass with zero defects recorded. The record also shows a failed test on the exact same date and mileage, indicating a same-day retest that ultimately cleared without any faults being noted. This pattern demonstrates a mechanically sound vehicle requiring no recurring repairs or ongoing interventions to pass its annual assessment. The mileage accumulation aligns perfectly with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. Between the March 2023 test at 117,081 miles and the March 2026 test at 129,465 miles, the RAV4 covered 12,384 miles over three years, averaging roughly 4,128 miles annually. The intermediate tests confirm this steady pace, with the 2024 test recording 121,292 miles and the 2025 test recording 125,358 miles. This consistent increase of approximately 4,100 miles per year points to regular, light-to-moderate use without alarming gaps or sudden spikes in the odometer readings. Given the complete absence of recorded faults or advisories, the mechanical history does not flag any specific recurring defects like binding calipers, exhaust emissions failures, or structural corrosion. Nevertheless, a 2006 RAV4 approaching 130,000 miles demands a physical inspection of typical age-related wear items. A buyer should closely examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for deterioration, check the brake discs and pads for uneven wear, and thoroughly inspect the underbody and sills for corrosion. The lack of MOT advisories implies previous owners addressed immediate failures, but the age of the vehicle means consumables and structural integrity require a hands-on assessment rather than relying solely on the clean paperwork.
