2016 Toyota RAV4 2.0L Petrol · PL16 AEC

The 2016 Toyota RAV4 shows a generally consistent maintenance history, with the most recent test in December 2025 at 53,558 miles passing with no recorded defects. This indicates the vehicle is currently in a stable state of roadworthiness. However, the record reveals a specific failure in December 2021 at 37,995 miles where the tester flagged both nearside and offside rear suspension bushes as excessively worn. This issue was addressed prior to the subsequent test in December 2022, suggesting the previous owner attended to necessary repairs once faults were identified. The vehicle has covered relatively low mileage for its age, averaging approximately 5,350 miles per year over the seven-year period. The progression from 28,854 miles in 2019 to 53,558 miles in 2025 shows steady, predictable usage patterns. This low mileage often results in less wear on mechanical components like the engine and gearbox compared to high-mileage motorway counterparts. There is no evidence of rapid mileage spikes or long gaps in testing that would suggest neglect or prolonged storage. A buyer should pay close attention to the rear suspension during a physical inspection, as the bushes were previously a point of failure. While the 2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025 tests show no recurring issues in this area, the lack of advisories regarding brake corrosion or structural corrosion in recent years is a positive sign. The overall data suggests a vehicle that has been maintained well enough to pass annual inspections without major mechanical or structural failures being flagged in the recent history.
