Two owners from new, current registered owner since 2002. Vendor states: 1999 Toyota RAV4 Freesport (Mk1) Full Description: Registered on 14th April 1999, this Toyota RAV4 Freesport is a desirable short wheelbase, three-door example of the first-generation model — increasingly recognised as a modern classic. Powered by the robust 2.0-litre petrol engine with five-speed manual transmission and four-wheel drive, the RAV4 blends compact dimensions with genuine capability, making it as useful today as it was at launch. Finished in Silver Graphite Metallic with a cloth interior, this example has covered only 59,960 miles from new, supported by remarkably low ownership — just two keepers over 25 years. The first owner, a lady via Motability Finance, retained the car until early 2002. In her three years of use she covered no more than 26,987 miles, with the service book showing five Toyota main dealer stamps in that period, including the original PDI. The second owner, a lady who purchased the RAV4 directly from a Toyota main dealer in 2002, kept the car until very recently. Together with her husband, they covered around 33,000 miles over 23 years of ownership. Servicing and maintenance were carried out by their immediate neighbours and a trusted local independent garage. While few invoices were retained, records and a sticker on the timing belt cover confirm the timing belt and water pump were replaced at approximately 56,000 miles Importantly, the car is accompanied by a comprehensive collection of MOT certificates, dating back to its first on 6th June 2002 — when certificates were still hand-written — continuing through to the present day. These provide a reassuring record of mileage and careful use over time. The specification includes power steering, central locking, two sets of keys, and the original Toyota radio cassette with fully functional aerial. The car will be serviced and MOT’d shortly before the auction. It drives very well, as expected for its mileage and history, and the overall condition is excellent, with straight, clean bodywork and an interior that mirrors its low-mileage use. With the Mk1 RAV4 now widely regarded as the pioneer of the compact SUV market, this exceptionally low-mileage, low-owner Freesport represents a rare opportunity. Values for early RAV4s have been climbing steadily in the UK, with comparable examples advertised between £4,000 and £9,000. Given its provenance, low mileage, originality, and attractive condition, this Freesport has potential to achieve in the region of £5,000–£7,000 at auction.
