The TOYOTA RAV 4 (2000-06) 5DR STATION WAGON 2.0 D-4D VX 4X4 is a compact, five-door SUV, blending family-car practicality with the raised stance and four-wheel-drive confidence buyers wanted. In the UK used market, it sits among early modern crossovers: more versatile than a hatchback, yet easier to manage than a large off-roader. mycarcheck.com records 181 checks covering 92 distinct vehicles, giving a useful snapshot of interest. Checked examples average 123,000 miles, around 5,000 miles a year, and roughly four to five previous keepers; the average private-sale valuation is £1,400. These figures describe checked cars, not a guarantee of condition or today’s market price. Suited to families, rural drivers and commuters, the diesel RAV4 offers space, ground clearance and four-wheel-drive grip in poor weather. Its five-door layout eases loading, and VX trim adds comfort. Against Honda CR-V and Nissan X-Trail rivals, it is a practical all-rounder; check condition and service history carefully.
