2025 Toyota C-HR Design Phev Auto Hybrid electric (clean) · AF25 LLT

As a 2025 registration, this Toyota C-HR Design PHEV would not yet be due its first MOT test, which is why no DVSA records exist on file. A vehicle first registered in 2025 becomes eligible for MOT testing from the third anniversary of its registration date, meaning the first test will not be required until at least 2028. In the absence of any test history, it is not possible to identify a maintenance trend or evaluate any progression of defects, advisories, or failure items. The prospective buyer should therefore not interpret the lack of MOT data as confirmation of mechanical condition, but rather as a neutral starting point requiring physical inspection and verification of the manufacturer's service schedule. With mileage data not recorded and no MOT history available for cross-reference, it is impossible to determine an accurate annual usage rate for this vehicle. Given the current date of September 2026, the car is approximately one year old at most, so mileage could range considerably from a low commuter figure to a high motorway-driven total. For a PHEV of this type, usage pattern is particularly important, as these vehicles are designed to operate most efficiently when regularly plugged in and charged, with regular use of the hybrid system. Any prospective buyer should request full dealer or service history documentation to confirm the vehicle has been consistently maintained, and should verify the current odometer reading against any available service invoices or PDI records to establish whether the mileage is appropriate for the age and consistent with a PHEV usage profile. As the MOT record is entirely clean and sparse, the buyer must rely on a thorough physical inspection addressing age and low-data risk factors. The tyres should be examined closely for signs of sidewall perishing or cracking from age, even if tread depth remains adequate, and the wheels should be inspected for any kerb damage or corrosion around the rims. Brake discs and calipers should be checked for any signs of corrosion, seizing, or binding, particularly if the vehicle has stood for extended periods, as this can lead to uneven pad wear or pulling under braking. The 12V auxiliary battery and the high-voltage hybrid battery health should be verified, including confirmation of charging history and any diagnostic readings available from a Toyota dealer, as hybrid battery longevity is heavily dependent on usage patterns and climate conditions. Fluid conditions should be assessed on a calendar basis rather than mileage alone, given the lack of recorded usage data. Engine oil, brake fluid, coolant, and the transmission fluid for the hybrid system should all be checked for condition and service interval compliance, with reference to the Toyota service schedule. All electrical systems, including infotainment, reversing camera, sensors, and hybrid-specific functions such as EV mode and regenerative braking, should be exercised during a test drive. The test drive itself should be conducted in both pure electric and hybrid modes, listening for any unusual noises from the drivetrain, and monitoring for warning lights on the dashboard. Any hesitation, unusual vibrations, or inability to switch between drive modes should be treated as a serious concern and investigated by a qualified Toyota hybrid technician before purchase.
