Not always. My father in-law has bought mostly new (but with some ex-demo) RAV 4's for the last 25+ years, and he's had issues. His current RAV 4 needed new suspension arms and bushes at less than 30k miles from new. Admittedly it was sorted under warranty, as you get a further 12 Months warranty each time you get a service at a Toyota dealer. They said the repairs would have cost in excess of £1800 had he not had the warranty in place....
I'd still get the oil pickup checked before selling it mate, seen then bad with full service history etc with low mileage, worth having checked to save yourself the headache later on.
RAV hybrid is a 2.5 petrol/hybrid, also found in some Lexus models. I had a 2016 one and it just went & went. Lovely things if you just want a car to function as a tool, do about 40-45mpg in real world so not too bad. Wife has a RAV now, petrol auto though, just passed it's MOT at 11 years old with no advisories, tester said it was mechanically 'mint'. Look after them and they repay you.

The Ecoboost engines are rubbish in general. The 2.0 and larger ones aren't as bad. But the 2.0 has had multiple recalls and weren't replaced if the milage was too high. The 2.0 is only good when it's attached to a manual gearbox. The Mondeo only has the 2.0 combined with the CATASTROPHIC Powershift transmission. So only the Focus ST is somewhat decent. The 2.3 is reasonable when it's from 2017 or later or if it had a new headgasket installed. The 2.7 is reasonable but also has a wet belt to drive the oil pump. So it's a timebomb. I'm not sure about the 3.5 or bigger, but I'd stay away from anything with the name Ecoboost unless it's something very special. Like a Focus RS or a Mustang. If you want a Ford, get a full hybrid model. NOT THE MILD HYBRID!
I think I'd trust the engine on the cheapy civic bud rather than the ecoboost, if there's trade profit in it I'd move it on, even after 6 mths if it blows up they'll be back.
Three good buys there - learnings from the recent podcasts you've been on with other traders, these types of cars have got to be the way for you to go.
RAV4 hybrid is 2.5 engine and 197 hp. Should easily do 45mpg at motorway speed. More than that at lower speeds. Has it got a hidden towbar? The loose rear number plate suggests it might. I had one, brilliant car and can tow a medium size caravan if it’s the 4x4 version. The front drive version can’t. If you service it at a Toyota main dealer, you get 12 months warranty too!
@ChopsGarage you can get it done up to 10 years and 100k too. The service is not bad for a dealer price wise. We have a 64 plate diesel just out now it's an icon awd and averages about 47 across the year . Wife loves it , we got that and a new 71 diesel mild hybrid Sportage at roughly the same time , she drove the Rav 4 first and as we stand still hasn't driven the Sportage which we actually got for her . Ps it's great too . Confession time , never got rid of the cars they were got to replace and still use the qashqai 2.0dci which we have done 181k from new and my old Msport 320 e46 coupe which if I am honest needs to go , but it's pretty , sounds great and has only done 96k so it lingers although it's done nothing this year
Hi James liked the buying purge 3 real nice condition cars , out of the 3 cars the Rav 4 would be for me , hopefully they will be trouble free as all nice low mileage very best of luck , your Topdon is 1p cheaper than Joes so glad I seen yours saved 1p 😂
If the Aircon needs a recharge on the Hybrid make sure they use the right gas / oil ND11 and on a machine that only gets used for Hybrids. Otherwise you end ruining the aircon compressor as contamination ruins the windings.
Fiat will need the belt changing as it is or about to be 10 years old. That could well come back and bit you as a fault on purchase because we all know belts are changed in mileage or if they reach 10 years old. Thought Ford had put a recall in for eco boom engines for a free belt change?
Cheers for the discount code - I took advantage on the TopDon jump pack ages ago and it's saved me several times - plus some strangers at car shows who I could help 🙂 Been after an inexpensive scanner for more modern stuff so this ticks the box 👍
67 plate EcoBoom is defo STILL the old wet-belt design, so please be careful not to get burnt by a warranty claim, mate: Oil pick-up strainer needs checking just for safety's sake!
Well done James some great stock there all three are nice cars and seem in lovely condition My brother loves his Toyota hybrids and they cover big mileage’s he’s never had an issue with the 5 he’s had - from memory the icon is towards the bottom of the range my brother has had the mid range design and last time he had the excel the top of the range and had leather seats and all the toys - engine wise the hybrid is a 2.5 petrol and electric motor and it moves between the two seamlessly a really smooth drive but yes James please service it at Toyota as up to 10 years you get warranty and you also need special certificates to work on hybrids I would check it out The fiestas are always good and that one will be on the recall programme I think the belt didn’t change until the chain came in Pandas are great cars and appeal to a wide range of people I think will be good for chops garage to have a mix of cars in future keep up the hard work Daniel
ECO Boost changed to a non wet belt timing belt late 2019 BUT still has an oil pump wet belt! Would not touch an ECO Boost regardless of the year, total engine design mess up
@@ChopsGarage Yes we specialise in the low milers - we don’t use AT, just a small family business 47 years in! We got it at the right figure, drove really well.
Toyota is my favourite make of car; never had an issue bar software recalls. The hybrid 71 plate RAV4 we have goes like greased pigspit and the beauty is you can charge the battery from the engine.
10 year old car with 21k. Thats barely over 2k a year. I walk further than that. I used to to 20k inless than 6 months because at 20k i needed a service.
Hope when you bought that Fiesta you factured in the wet belt inspection and maybe replacement. Around the £1500 mark from a specialist. I understand that the trade don't like them very much because of the issues with the 1.0 eco boost engine and consequently, values have dropped considerably. I'd trade it on James even if you only make a round of drinks out of it, its not worth the potential hassle and expense to you as a business. I also understand that later models with the revised chain and belt system are still giving grief for some owners.🤔👍
Wouldn't have another Panda last one 4x4 lost a gearbox at 19k and it was new box flywheel prop and clutch. Fiat wanted £10k to repair it . Never again
Hi, I have 2000 ford Escape (Kuga) hybrid that does 46 us mpg average ( 55 UK mpg) and it has the 2.5 litre petrol engine so yout Toyota is not doing that well 🙂. love watching your vidoes.
My 1999 E38 is on 230, 000 its a quiet as an EV im trying to get it to 300,000 .then 400,000 .The women that rang you probably has 2 flat tyres ,its on its rimms now .
Hi James, think this will work out so much better for you, newer cars and trade off the cheapies. Can't really comment on the Fiat, never had or sold one, just hope that they are better than Citroen and Peugeot? The Fiesta was a brave decision. Do you remember the old Ford 1.8 Diesels that snapped timing belts? Ford changed the belt layout on those too, but they still snapped. They have got it wrong again, oil and rubber do not mix James, and they never will, so the change will not help, and even though Ford have decided to 'maybe' fix them when they let go, do you really want to sell a car that decides to self detonate and put your customer through that? Stick with Toyota and Lexus, I know that you think that they are bland, and maybe they are, but they are leaps and bounds ahead of the the other crap that is available these days, and that includes VAG, and JLR. You did ask. Tony. 👍

@@ChrisPatrick-q6k definitely wouldn't pass emissions. Wonder what the co2 is on a 2.0 pinto. Most of those engines did outlast the cars in my experience.
@@ChrisPatrick-q6k definitely. I think my focus 18.tdci had a wet belt I never replaced it though and it lasted 16years.

Peugeot, Vauxhall, VW use them.
You haven’t driven one then they are smooth and do pull well all across the rev range the issue is the wet belt and degas hose and I’ve had both go on the two I owned
Then why don't you start a similar business and offer comparable vehicles that have been mechanically and visually refurbished with an MOT and warranty and see if you could undercut him in price and have your business remain viable while providing you with a living wage?
I would not touch an Eco Boost. That simple! Although, Ford have admitted to a major design fault with the wet belt and changed to chain in later models. I may be incorrect but from 2020 onwards, it still has its problems. I hope you see the back of that one very soon and it outlives any warranty. Good luck!
That CarPal device, although comparitively cheap, will ony function for 12 months from first registration. Yes, it does have more functions than most "cheap" devices but if wanting to keep and use after the year's anniversary then it's worth paying a bit more for a device with free lifetime updates (whatever lifetime refers to). The specific vehicle software requires a fee, after a year, for it to continue working.
As you know James ive got a 63plate fiesta 1l ecoboost zetec 26k miles i got from my Mum and the performance you get out of it is unbelievably quick so happy with it.
