2016 Toyota RAV4 2.0L Diesel · YP16 WPT

The vehicle presents a strong roadworthiness profile with a highly stable maintenance trend. The most recent inspection conducted on 26 March 2026 at 48,927 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, indicating the car currently meets all statutory safety standards. Following a minor failure in March 2025, the vehicle successfully cleared its re-test, suggesting that any identified issues were addressed promptly and that the vehicle remains in a good state of repair. The mileage pattern is consistently low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,900 miles per year. Between March 2023 and March 2026, the car covered 13,728 miles, moving from 35,199 to 48,927 miles. This low usage typically implies less wear on the drivetrain and engine components compared to higher-mileage examples. However, low mileage can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based components like bushes, tyres, and brake lines if the vehicle has sat stationary for long periods between uses. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components that age due to time rather than just mileage. While the MOT history is clean, the inspector should check the suspension bushes for cracking and the coil springs for corrosion, as these can perish over a decade. Brake discs should be examined for surface rust pitting, which often occurs on vehicles that are driven infrequently. Given the single failure in early 2025, verifying that the specific cause of that failure was permanently rectified would be a prudent step before finalizing the purchase.
