2016 Toyota RAV4 2.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · YA65 MYB

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend despite recent setbacks. The most recent MOT test on 28 June 2025 at 70,622 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, following an initial failure on the same day. This suggests that the owner is proactive in rectifying immediate issues identified by the tester, as the vehicle has returned to a clean sheet in two consecutive annual tests since 2023. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 7,000 miles per annum. Between the July 2023 test at 61,355 miles and the July 2024 test at 65,929 miles, the car covered 4,574 miles. Another 4,693 miles were recorded in the year leading up to June 2025. This steady, low accumulation generally limits wear on drivetrain components and engine internals, though infrequent use can sometimes lead to degradation of rubber components and suspension bushings. While the record shows no persistent structural advisories, the recurring failures in 2024 and 2025 indicate that the vehicle occasionally falls out of compliance just before the test date. A buyer should perform a physical inspection of the brake discs and calipers for surface corrosion, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from seized brakes. Given the low mileage, the inspector should also check for perished tyre sidewalls and cracks in the suspension arm bushings to ensure the vehicle has not sat stationary for extended periods between uses.
