2016 Toyota RAV4 2.0L Diesel · FP65 LRL

This 2016 Toyota RAV4 has covered approximately 10,641 miles per year, which is a typical annual average for a vehicle of this age. This consistent usage suggests the car has been driven regularly rather than sitting idle for long periods, which is generally a positive sign for the engine and drivetrain. The MOT history is relatively stable, with no major failures recorded over the last five years. However, there is a recurring pattern of tyre wear, specifically uneven wear on the inner and outer edges. This often points to potential tracking or alignment issues that may have been neglected or only addressed superficially. While the vehicle has passed its inspections, the advisories suggest that the suspension geometry or tyre pressure maintenance has been inconsistent over the vehicle's life. The most recent MOT from January 2026 noted that the rear brake discs are worn, pitted, or scored. While this did not result in a failure, it indicates that the braking system is reaching the end of its current service life and will likely require replacement in the near future. The history shows a trend of minor maintenance items—such as binding brakes and tyre wear—appearing periodically, which suggests the car has been maintained to a standard that prioritises passing the test rather than proactive preventative care. Given this history, your first priority when inspecting the vehicle should be a thorough check of the tyre tread depth and the evenness of wear across all four tyres.
