The TOYOTA RAV 4 (2000-06) 3DR STATION WAGON 2.0 D-4D NRG 4X4 is a compact, three-door SUV, combining a raised driving position and four-wheel drive with a smaller footprint than larger off-roaders. In the UK, it suits buyers wanting all-weather ability without a bulky 4x4. Mycarcheck.com recorded 98 checks across 75 distinct VINs, a useful snapshot of interest in this older model. Average private-sale valuation was £1,200, with recorded mileage averaging 129,000 miles and annual mileage 6,000. Vehicles averaged nearly five previous keepers, so check condition and service history carefully. Its diesel engine suits regular journeys, while the short body makes it easier to park than many larger SUVs. It can suit couples, small households and countryside users needing extra traction, though rear access and space are less family-friendly than five-door rivals. Against early Honda CR-Vs and similar compact 4x4s, the RAV4 is known for its approachable, versatile character on road.
