2016 Toyota RAV4 2.5L Hybrid electric · WM65 HFF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy having passed its latest MOT on 24 December 2025 at 44,899 miles. The maintenance trend shows an improving trajectory regarding a specific mechanical fault. While the vehicle failed just one day prior due to excessively worn rear trailing arm bushes on both the nearside and offside sides, the subsequent pass with no recorded defects indicates that the owner addressed the necessary suspension repairs immediately to bring the car back to a compliant standard. The mileage profile is notably low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,500 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with a jump from 26,038 miles in February 2023 to 44,899 miles by December 2025. This low annual mileage generally suggests less wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though it can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based parts, such as seals and bushings, if the vehicle sits stationary for long periods between uses. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the rear suspension assembly to ensure the recent repair work was executed correctly. The record shows a recurring issue with the trailing arm bushes, starting with an advisory in February 2023 and progressing to a failure in December 2025. It is vital to check for any remaining play in the suspension geometry or signs of premature wear on the mounting points of these arms. Given the low mileage, also also verify the brake discs and calipers are not seizing or showing surface pitting from lack of use.
