2017 Toyota RAV4 B-Ness ED+ HEV TSS 4X2CVT Electric · WP17 GCF

The roadworthiness of this vehicle is currently questionable following a failure in the latest inspection. While the car maintained a clean record for several years, the most recent test on June 5, 2026, at 101,815 miles resulted in a failure with no specific defects listed in the summary, suggesting a significant mechanical or safety-related issue that remained unaddressed prior to the test. The maintenance trend has shifted from a stable period of clean passes to a period of instability as the vehicle reaches higher mileage figures. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 11,300 miles per year. The data shows a steady accumulation of 19,547 miles between October 2023 and October 2024, followed by another 21,454 miles leading up to the dual-test in July 2025. However, the rapid-fire testing in July 2025 is notable, where the vehicle failed at 92,159 miles and passed just two days later at 92,223 miles. This indicates a specific repair was made to rectify a single point of failure, rather than a general decline in mechanical condition. A buyer must investigate the specific cause of the June 2026 failure before proceeding with a purchase. Because the record shows no recurring advisories in previous years, the sudden failure likely involves a specific component such as a suspension linkage, brake hose, or an emissions fault. Given the 100,000-mile threshold, a physical inspection should also focus on wear on the suspension bushes and the structural integrity of the chassis for corrosion, as these areas often begin to show significant degradation at this age and mileage.
