The TOYOTA RAV 4 (2000-06) 3DR STATION WAGON 2.0 D-4D GRANITE is a compact, three-door SUV: taller and more rugged-looking than a family hatchback, but easier to manage than a large 4x4. It brings the practical, go-anywhere image that helped make the RAV4 a familiar, popular choice in Britain’s used-car market. Mycarcheck.com recorded 42 look-ups across 27 distinct VINs, a useful snapshot rather than a full market survey. Examples averaged 124,000 miles, about 4,000 miles annually and a £1,500 private-sale valuation. They had around six previous keepers on average, making condition and service history especially important. This diesel RAV4 suits couples, small households and commuters wanting a raised driving position and flexible everyday transport, though three doors make rear access less convenient for families. Its compact size, sturdy character and versatility distinguish it from ordinary hatchbacks, while providing a simpler alternative to bulkier SUV rivals. Buy on condition, not badge alone.
