2016 Toyota RAV4 2.0L Diesel · DC16 OXH

The 2016 Toyota RAV4 presents a currently roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 21 July 2025 at 118,066 miles passed with no defects recorded, confirming the vehicle entered the current ownership period in sound mechanical condition. Prior annual tests from 2023 through 2024 also returned passes with no advisories, indicating no worsening faults across the recorded history. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical level for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 11,800 miles per year. The record shows 100,355 miles at the July 2023 test, rising to 109,835 miles by July 2024 and 118,066 miles by July 2025, a consistent yearly spread of around 8,800 to 9,200 miles. The DVSA data is sparse but clean, with no advisories or consumable wear flags logged at any stage. The test history reveals two anomalous failures on 14 July 2023 and 23 July 2024, both at identical mileages to the subsequent passes on the same days, with no defects recorded. This pattern suggests administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical faults, as the vehicle cleared on re-test without rectification. No recurring suspension bushes, brake disc, corrosion, or exhaust emission problems appear in the official record. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity, coil springs, and binding calipers given the vehicle's age and 118,066 miles. The absence of advisories across five tests implies previous owners kept basic upkeep current, but MOT cleanliness at this mileage does not confirm underside rust or worn suspension components absent from the tester's notes.
