2016 Toyota RAV4 2.0L Diesel · DC66 POV

The 2016 Toyota RAV4 presents as roadworthy following a clean pass on 25 June 2025 at 56,758 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across its recorded history. The most recent test showed no defects, and the vehicle carries a continuous pass record from 2022 onwards apart from a failed attempt days earlier. That failure on 19 June 2025 at 56,757 miles recorded no defects, indicating the tester raised a non-itemised refusal or administrative issue rather than a mechanical fault, and the owner corrected it within six days. Annual mileage sits at roughly 5,676 miles against a ten-year lifespan, a low figure for this model. The records show steady accumulation: 31,575 miles on 23 June 2022, 40,429 on 31 May 2023, 50,435 on 30 May 2024, and 56,758 by June 2025. No abrupt jumps or dormant gaps appear, though the low overall use suggests prolonged standing periods are possible between short trips, which can age tyres and seizing brake components without high-mileage wear. The DVSA data flags no advisories for suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions at any stage. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of the underbody for structural rust and check the brake calipers for binding after standing, since the clean record offers no evidence of neglect but equally no deep mechanical probing. Verify the 19 June 2025 failure reason with the test station, as the absence of listed defects leaves the refusal unexplained on paper.
