Our Verdict
A highly recommended purchase for those seeking a reliable, older SUV. This specific RAV4 boasts an exceptionally clean MOT record that suggests a high standard of maintenance.
Given the flawless MOT history, your primary focus should be on the service records. Ensure the diesel particulate filter (DPF) has been maintained and that the oil changes have been performed at regular intervals, as this is critical for the 2.2L engine's longevity. Check for any evidence of recent major work, such as clutch or brake disc replacements, which are typical wear-and-tear items for a vehicle crossing the 120,000-mile mark.
Negotiate based on the age of the tyres and the remaining life of the brake pads, as these are the only likely areas requiring immediate spend. Because the MOT history is so clean, you can be more confident in the structural integrity and safety of the vehicle, allowing you to focus more on the mechanical service history.
The 2231cc diesel engine provides a good balance of torque for a family SUV, though fuel economy will be modest by modern standards. You can expect typical diesel MPG for a 2007-era SUV, combined with a tax band reflective of its engine size and emissions from the late 2000s.
Insurance groups for the RAV4 are generally mid-range, making it affordable to cover. Maintenance costs should remain low if the current trend of preventative care continues, though you should budget for the occasional replacement of aging rubber components and suspension bushings common in vehicles from 2007.
While the MOT history shows no defects recorded between 2021 and 2025, you should still perform a physical inspection of the underbody. Specifically, check for surface rust on the chassis and suspension components, as these are often not flagged as failures until they become critical, but are common on older UK diesel SUVs.
Inspect the engine bay for any oil leaks around the seals and check the exhaust system for soot buildup. Ensure the electrical systems, including the windows and air conditioning, are fully operational, as these are convenience items that do not always appear on an MOT report but can be costly to repair on a 2007 model.
This 2007 grey Toyota RAV4 2.2L Diesel presents as a very well-maintained example with 127,783 miles on the clock. The most striking feature of this vehicle is its MOT history, which shows five consecutive passes from 2021 to 2025 without a single recorded defect. This level of consistency is rare for a vehicle of this age and indicates a proactive approach to upkeep.
The RAV4 is globally recognised for its robustness and longevity, particularly when maintained to the standard seen in this vehicle's history.
