2017 Toyota RAV4 2.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · FN17 EHF

The vehicle presents as currently roadworthy following a clean pass in the March 2026 test at 68,458 miles. The maintenance trend shows signs of improvement after a period of minor consumable neglect. While the 2024 and 2025 tests flagged issues with tyre wear and thinning brake pads, the most recent inspection recorded no defects, suggesting that the previous advisories were addressed. The mileage accumulation is consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 7,600 miles per year. The record shows steady usage without significant periods of inactivity or sudden spikes in distance. The progression from 27,284 miles in February 2020 to 68,458 miles in March 2026 indicates a predictable and regular driving pattern. A prospective buyer should focus on the braking system and tyres during a physical inspection. The 2024 test noted both nearside and offside front tyres worn close to the legal limit, and the 2025 test highlighted thinning pads on both the front and rear axles. Although these issues appear resolved according to the 2026 certificate, checking the remaining pad thickness and the condition of the brake discs for scoring or uneven wear is advisable. No structural corrosion or suspension component failures have appeared in the history. The absence of advisories regarding bushes, ball joints, or exhaust emissions suggests the vehicle has avoided major mechanical degradation. The primary focus remains on verifying that the recent maintenance work on the consumables was performed to a high standard.
