2004 Toyota RAV4 2.0L Petrol · YP54 WHB

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, showing a consistent pass record over the last four years. The most recent test on 6 May 2025 at 129,752 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, following a failure just one week prior on 29 April 2025 at 129,618 miles. This brief failure suggests a minor component issue that was rectified immediately before the successful retest, as the vehicle maintained a clean record from that point forward. At 22 years old, the recorded mileage of 129,752 miles is notably low, averaging approximately 5,900 miles per year. The data shows a steady and predictable usage pattern, with the vehicle covering roughly 3,400 miles between the 2022 and 2023 tests and another 3,700 miles in the following year. This low annual mileage typically reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though low-mileage vehicles of this age can sometimes suffer from degradation of rubber-based components and fluid oxidation if they are not driven regularly. While the MOT history is clean of recurring mechanical faults, a buyer must inspect the vehicle for age issues common to this generation of RAV4. Focus should be placed on the structural integrity, specifically checking the chassis, subframe, and rear mounting points where corrosion often accumulates regardless of low mileage. Given the age age, verify the condition of the suspension bushes and shock absorbers for cracking, as these parts perish over time rather than distance driven. Checking the brake calipers for binding or seized pistons is also advisable to ensure the low usage has not led to surface rust on the discs.
