2017 Toyota C-HR 1.8L Hybrid electric (clean) · EF17 AAZ

The Toyota C-HR’s most recent MOT test on January 16, 2026, at 89,961 miles confirms it remains roadworthy with no defects recorded. Over the past five years, the vehicle has passed every test without fail, including the January 2025 retest just two days after an initial failure at 79,516 miles—though no defects were logged in either instance. This suggests a stable maintenance history with no recurring mechanical issues, though the retest implies a minor oversight in scheduling. The absence of advisories or repeated failures on critical components like suspension, brakes, or emissions indicates the vehicle has likely undergone consistent servicing, though the record does not detail whether routine maintenance (e.g., fluid changes, timing belt inspections) was performed as recommended. The mileage progression reveals a steady accumulation of approximately 10,000 miles annually, which aligns with typical usage patterns for a vehicle of this age. Notably, there is a 10-month gap between the December 2022 and January 2024 MOTs, during which the odometer advanced by 3,262 miles—slightly slower than the average. This could indicate periods of lighter use or storage, which may have mitigated some wear. The rapid 10,000-mile jump between the January 2024 and January 2025 tests, however, suggests active use during that period. There are no red flags in the mileage pattern itself, but the lack of pre-MOT servicing records means some wear items may be approaching their limits. Given the clean MOT history, a prospective buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of high-wear components that aren’t captured in the test. At this mileage, the suspension bushes and coil springs—particularly at the rear—should be checked for excessive play or cracking, as these are common points of failure in this model. The brake system warrants close attention, especially the rear calipers and discs, which may have been overlooked if the vehicle was driven hard during the 2024–2025 period. Corrosion around the wheel arches, sills, and subframe should also be examined, as the C-HR’s aluminium bodywork can be prone to hidden rust in less accessible areas. Finally, the exhaust system, particularly the catalytic converter and downstream pipes, should be inspected for leaks or damage, as emissions tests have not flagged any issues but do not always detect subtle failures.
