2021 Toyota C-HR 1.8L Hybrid electric (clean) · CK71 FVV

This Toyota C-HR has maintained a clean MOT history with no defects recorded across the two most recent tests, most recently passing on 28 April 2025 at 24,025 miles. The absence of advisories or failings suggests the vehicle has undergone consistent, if not rigorous, maintenance within the legal requirements. However, the most recent test occurred just under three months ago, which is acceptable but not ideal—anything beyond six months from the current date (25 July 2026) would raise concerns about deferred servicing or neglect. The lack of recurring issues indicates no obvious pattern of mechanical failure, though the sparse record means no deeper wear trends can be confirmed. The mileage pattern is unusual for a five-year-old vehicle, with only 24,025 miles logged—roughly 4,805 miles annually. This suggests either very light usage or prolonged periods of inactivity, which could accelerate certain forms of wear, such as suspension rubber degradation or brake fluid deterioration. The gap between tests (from 14,622 miles in May 2024 to 24,025 miles in April 2025) indicates roughly 9,400 miles between services, which is within DVSA guidelines but may not align with manufacturer-recommended intervals. Without additional service records, it’s impossible to verify whether critical components like timing belts, differential fluid, or air filters were renewed on schedule. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of suspension components, particularly the bushes and coil springs, as low mileage does not necessarily preclude wear in these areas. The brakes, while not flagged, should be checked for uneven pad thickness or warped discs, especially if the vehicle has spent extended periods stationary. Tyre condition is another critical area—though not recorded as failing, the low mileage could mask deeper tread wear or sidewall damage from prolonged storage. Finally, a visual inspection for corrosion, particularly around wheel arches and underbody, is essential, as rust can develop even in lightly used vehicles exposed to salted roads or damp conditions. The absence of advisories does not guarantee these areas are unaffected.
