2019 Toyota C-HR 1.8L Hybrid electric (clean) · HD68 GHA

The 2019 Toyota C-HR’s most recent MOT test on 2023-03-14 passed without recorded defects, but the immediate preceding test on 2023-03-10 failed—an unusually short gap of just four days between tests. This suggests either a rushed or poorly managed retest, as no defects were logged on either occasion. The previous clean pass in January 2022 indicates a stable period of compliance, though the lack of any advisories or faults in the record does not preclude hidden issues. Buyers should note that the vehicle has not undergone an official inspection since March 2023, leaving over three years of potential wear unconfirmed by a tester. The recorded mileage of 111,427 miles over approximately seven years equates to an average of around 15,900 miles annually, which is elevated for a vehicle of this age. The gap between the January 2022 and March 2023 tests—just under two years—covers roughly 19,000 miles, implying consistent usage without prolonged periods of inactivity. While high mileage alone does not guarantee failure, it does necessitate closer scrutiny of high-wear components. The absence of multiple MOT tests in this period makes it impossible to track gradual deterioration, such as suspension bush deterioration or brake fade, which might have developed between tests. Given the sparse MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of the suspension system, particularly the rear coil springs and bushes, which are common failure points on this model at this mileage. The brakes—though not flagged—should be checked for uneven wear or binding calipers, especially if the vehicle has been driven hard. Corrosion around the wheel arches, sills, and underbody should be examined, as prolonged exposure without MOT scrutiny could have allowed structural rust to develop. Tyre condition is another critical area; failing twice on tread depth (if applicable) would suggest basic maintenance was neglected, so verifying current tread depth and uniformity is essential. The lack of advisories does not rule out minor leaks or worn components, so fluid levels and hoses should also be inspected.
