Spanner can help turn your car details into an advert.
Could suit you if…
- Your usual group fits within 5 seats, including the driver. Check passenger space and any child-seat fit in person.
- You regularly make longer journeys: diesel may fit that pattern better than a routine of mostly short trips. Compare actual running costs.
Think twice if…
- You need to carry more than 5 people together: the advert records 5 seats, including the driver.
- Most journeys are short school runs or local trips: check whether this diesel has a particulate filter and what longer runs its handbook requires.
- You need predictable ownership costs: at around 10 years old and 202,000 km, check maintenance records and upcoming work. Mileage alone does not tell you the car's condition.
This is general guidance about this type of car and your needs — not an inspection or approval of this individual car.
This is the fourth‑generation RAV4 chassis common in 2016, and diesel/manual pairings were popular in Ireland for economy and towing. Diesel RAV4s are generally robust but need regular longer runs to keep the DPF and EGR functioning well; the manual makes clutch wear a key item at ten years old. Many were sold with optional AWD — confirm whether the car has it, as that affects towing, maintenance and fuel use.
- DPF/EGR behaviour: check for frequent short trips, visible smoke on acceleration and whether the car completes regeneration runs
- Clutch engagement and pedal feel: test for slipping or a high biting point, especially on hills and after heavy use
- Turbo play and oil leaks: listen for whine/whistling under boost and inspect intercooler/turbo inlet for oil residue
- Underside and rear‑arch corrosion plus suspension bushes: look under the sills, rear arches and around shock mounts for rust or collapsed bushes
- If AWD: test rear drive engagement on a loose surface and note any diff/transfer box noises or fluid-change evidence
