2020 Toyota C-HR 2.0L Hybrid electric (clean) · FG70 BZT

The 2020 Toyota C-HR has maintained a clean MOT history with no defects or advisories recorded across the last four tests, including the most recent pass on 15 September 2025 at 56,228 miles. This suggests a stable roadworthiness trend with no recurring mechanical issues, though the single failure on 28 August 2024—despite identical mileage—appears anomalous and may indicate a temporary administrative oversight rather than a persistent fault. The vehicle has not undergone any major servicing interventions, and the absence of advisories implies no hidden concerns were flagged by the tester. However, the lack of defects does not preclude normal wear on high-usage components like brakes, suspension, or tyres, which should be verified independently. The recorded mileage of 56,228 miles over six years equates to approximately 9,371 miles annually, a rate consistent with typical light-to-moderate usage for this age. There are no significant gaps in testing, with the most recent MOT occurring just 10 months ago, well within the DVSA’s recommended 12-month interval for vehicles under three years old. The minor overlap in mileage between the 2024 failure and pass (28 August and 30 August) suggests either a retest or a clerical error, but neither impacts the vehicle’s overall maintenance pattern. No evidence of rapid mileage accumulation or prolonged periods of disuse is present in the record. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an inspection of the brake system, particularly the rear calipers and discs, as binding brakes were the sole reason for the 2024 failure. The suspension—including coil springs, bushes, and dampers—should be checked for uneven wear or corrosion, especially around wheel arches and sills, where rust can compromise structural integrity. Tyres, despite no MOT defects, may require assessment for uneven tread wear or low tread depth, as failing twice on tread suggests basic upkeep could have been neglected. Finally, the exhaust system and emissions should be visually inspected for leaks or excessive corrosion, as these are common failure points in vehicles of this age.
