2022 Toyota C-HR 2.0L Hybrid electric (clean) · AT04 OFT

A pattern of minimal mechanical intervention characterizes this vehicle, with the most recent MOT passed on 16 July 2026 showing only a single advisory. The testing history indicates a relatively stable period of roadworthiness, though a failure occurred on 21 July 2025 regarding an ineffective offside front windscreen wiper. Aside from this specific component failure, the recorded results show no major or dangerous defects, suggesting that the primary structural and safety-critical systems have met the required standards during recent inspections. The vehicle exhibits a low annual mileage accumulation of approximately 4,389 miles per year, which is notably below the UK average for a vehicle of this age. With 17,557 miles recorded as of the latest test, the mechanical wear on high-friction components such as brake pads, discs, and tyre tread is likely to be lower than average. However, such low usage can sometimes result in less frequent operation of certain mechanical systems, and the recorded mileage should be cross-referenced with the actual odometer reading to ensure consistency with the DVSA data. Prospective buyers should pay specific attention to the advisory regarding the seized bonnet secondary catch noted in the July 2026 test. This is a mechanical latch issue that can impede safe access to the engine bay or pose a risk if the bonnet is not fully secured. During a physical inspection, ensure the bonnet mechanism operates smoothly and that the secondary safety catch engages and releases without excessive force or sticking. While the windscreen wiper failure in 2025 was resolved, it is worth verifying that the wiper motor and linkage are functioning correctly without hesitation. On a test drive, observe the wiper sweep pattern to ensure there is no streaking or skipping, which could indicate a failing motor or worn rubber blades. Given the low mileage, there are no recorded issues with suspension bushes, brake pipes, or exhaust emissions to warrant specific mechanical scrutiny, but the overall integrity of the exterior trim and latches should be confirmed.
