2016 TOYOTA RAV42.0L DIESEL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT test on 24 February 2026 at 151,827 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable in the short term despite a pattern of immediate failures on the same day of testing in both 2025 and 2026. These failures suggest that non-compliance issues were identified and rectified prior to the retest, rather than indicating a systemic decline in mechanical integrity or ongoing structural decay. The mileage profile reflects high usage for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 15,000 miles annually. Between the March 2024 test at 116,074 miles and the February 2025 test at 133,711 miles, the vehicle covered 17,637 miles in eleven months, followed by another 18,116 miles leading into the most recent inspection. This consistent high-mileage accumulation indicates the car has been used regularly, which places significant stress on wear components such as bushings, suspension joints, and braking hardware. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension assembly and braking system, given the high mileage and the history of immediate retest failures. Check for play in control arm bushes, artwork springs, and shock absorbers, which often degrade at this mileage threshold. Additionally, while no specific mechanical adviserories were listed in the provided history, the condition of the brake discs and the flexibility of the calipers are vital to Ensure no significant binding or uneven wear has resulted from the high-frequency use cycles.
