Expert AI · Mechanic's Insight
The vehicle presents as roadworthy following the most recent MOT test on 25 March 2026 at 91,072 miles, which recorded no defects. The maintenance trend is stable across the available history, with every pass showing a clean sheet and no advisories logged. The only anomaly is a failed test on 6 March 2026 at 90,560 miles that listed no defects, suggesting an administrative or documentation issue rather than a mechanical fault, with the car passing cleanly nineteen days later. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical level for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 9,100 miles per year against the 91,072 miles recorded. The record shows 73,509 miles at the October 2023 test, rising to 82,428 by January 2025 and 90,560 by March 2026, a steady annual climb with no sudden spikes or prolonged dormancy. Gaps exist between mid-2022 and late 2023 and again before the 2025 test, but the sparse, clean entries give no indication of neglected consumables or deferred mechanical work. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the age and mileage, as these components accrue fatigue without triggering MOT advisories in a clean record. The 2026 failure with zero defects warrants confirmation that no outstanding recall or paperwork discrepancy affects the vehicle. Structural integrity and underbody corrosion should be physically checked, particularly around sills and subframes, since the DVSA history offers no evidence either way on hidden rust.

Our Verdict

This 2016 Toyota RAV4 Business Edition D-4D 4x2 is generally a sound used buy, but the unexplained MOT failure in March 2026 warrants caution. Provided the failure was a minor administrative or retest issue, the clean subsequent pass and consistent history make it worth considering.

Ask the seller for the full reason behind the MOT failure dated 2026-03-06, as the record shows no defects yet the test was not passed; it may have been a documentation issue, late submission, or a defect corrected before the retest on 2026-03-25. Confirm that the V5C logbook matches registration R11BDR, first registered July 2016, and verify the service history covers the 2.0-litre D-4D diesel engine intervals. Given the 1995cc diesel and Business Edition trim, check for included extras such as satellite navigation or upgraded seating noted in the original specification.
