2016 Toyota RAV4 2.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · DH65 NPY

The vehicle currently holds a clean roadworthiness status having passed its most recent MOT on 12 November 2025 at 157,043 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend shows a positive shift toward stability. While the vehicle suffered failures in previous years, the last two annual tests resulted in passes without advisories or failure points. This suggests that the mechanical issues identified historically were addressed and rectified, and the vehicle is currently operating within acceptable parameters regarding its primary safety components. At 157,043 miles, this 2016 RAV4 reflects a high mileage profile averaging approximately 15,700 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with roughly 8,000 miles covered between November 2023 and November 2024, and another 10,667 miles between November 2024 and November 2025. This regular accumulation indicates long-distance use rather than long periods of standing, which often helps prevent brake seizing and battery degradation. However, the high cumulative mileage places significant stress on the drivetrain components and the chassis's structural integrity. A buyer should prioritize a physical inspection of the suspension and underbody due to the high-mileage environment. Despite the clean recent records, rubber bushes, shock absorbers, and coil springs often fatigue at this interval. Given the failures in 2023 and 2024, it is vital to verify that the specific faults causing those failures were comprehensive repairs rather than temporary fixes. Look specifically for signs of corrosion on the exhaust system and check the condition of the brake discs and calipers, as high-mileage typically accelerates the wear of these consumables.
