2016 TOYOTA RAV42.5L Hybrid Electric (Clean)

The 2016 Toyota RAV4 holds a clean roadworthy status following the latest DVSA test on 14 August 2025 at 76,657 miles. That examination passed with no defects recorded. Across five consecutive annual tests from October 2021 to August 2025, the vehicle cleared every check without advisories. The upkeep trend is stable, showing neither degradation nor emerging fault patterns. Recorded distances align with typical use for a ten-year-old car. The odometer read 31,615 miles on 29 October 2021, rose to 44,741 by 27 October 2022, then jumped to 59,876 on 24 October 2023. Subsequent entries show 68,259 miles on 27 August 2024 and 76,657 miles a year later. Early motoring was light at roughly 6,300 miles per year, followed by a heavier 15,000-mile spell in 2022–2023, then a steadier 8,400-mile annual rate. Tests stayed continuous, and the flawless pass record suggests previous owners addressed wear before each examination. No test flagged suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, binding calipers, exhaust emissions or structural corrosion. The buyer therefore sees no documented mechanical or structural red flags. Age and mileage still demand scrutiny. A workshop should lift the car to inspect subframe and sills for rust, assess suspension arms for play, and confirm caliper slide and disc condition beyond MOT sampling. Consumables such as tyres and wiper blades met limits at each test but may now approach replacement. The spotless history implies disciplined maintenance, yet independent verification remains sensible before purchase.
