Description
We have purchased a new car and wish to sell our RAV 4. The car has been very well maintained all of it's life with a predominantly Toyota main dealer service history in the first 12 years of it's life. Rav 4's of this era had an issue with the fuel tank filler pipe rusting through but this was replaced on the car with paperwork to prove it. I have a thick folder full of paperwork to support the service history prior to my ownership.

I have done the following work on the car in the last 16 months, much of which is preventative maintenance.
Oil Change using Mobil 1 ESP Low Ash 5w30 although this car isn't fitted with the dreaded DPF so overkill on the Oil but good quality oil.
1 x New Air Filter
1 x New Fuel Filter
4 x New Glow Plugs (winter 2024 it became difficult to start and this cured the issue)
1 x Clutch Fluid Change
1 x Gearbox Oil Change
1 x Transfer Box Oil Change
2 x Rear Anti Roll Bar Links due to knocking at rear (didn't resolve issue)
2 x Rear Toe Control Arms (this resolved the knocking)
2 x Rear Trailing Arms prior to last MOT as old ones looked worn
Bad points
Air Conditioning not working - issue unknown but blowers work fine.
Slight knock from rear right suspected to be a bush but should be checked
Some age related scuffs and small car park door ding on rear quarter panel
Original rear tinted windows have rippled a little due to age and heat
The car runs and drives well and returns excellent mpg. It does not burn oil or coolant and is still in use sometimes but we had to move quickly on the purchase of our new car so we didn't miss it and now have 3 cars clogging up the driveway and road.
Any inspection or test drive welcomed
