2016 TOYOTA RAV42.5L Hybrid Electric (Clean)

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate issued on 15 October 2025 at 94,249 miles, indicating a stable roadworthiness status. While the record shows consecutive failures immediately preceding the passes in both 2024 and 2025, these were resolved within 24 hours without recorded defects. This pattern suggests that the vehicle is being presented for testing in a condition that requires minor last-minute rectification, rather than suffering from chronic mechanical degradation or systemic structural failure. The mileage accumulation remains consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,500 miles annually. The progression from 74,547 miles in October 2023 to the current 94,249 miles confirms regular, steady usage rather than long periods of inactivity or excessive heavy-duty service. This steady usage profile is generally preferable to low-mileage examples that may suffer from seized components or perished rubber seals due to prolonged standing. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the components that typically escape MOT scrutiny, specifically the drivetrain and interior electronics. Although the MOT history is clean, the rapid-fire failure and pass sequence suggests the owner may be performing basic maintenance only when forced by the test cycle. Prioritise checking the service history for fluid changes, particularly for the transmission and differential, as these are not covered by the MOT but are critical for this model’s longevity. Inspect the suspension bushes and the condition of the brake discs for signs of surface corrosion, as these items often show wear that does not reach the threshold for a test failure but will require attention in the near future.
