2017 Toyota C-HR 1.8L Hybrid electric (clean) · DC17 UPY

This Toyota C-HR has maintained a consistent MOT history with no defects recorded across five consecutive tests, most recently passing on 23 June 2025 at 61,000 miles. The absence of advisories or failings suggests the vehicle has undergone regular, if not rigorous, servicing, though the record does not reveal whether scheduled maintenance (e.g., timing belt, fluid changes) was performed. The most recent test was conducted just over a year ago, which is within the DVSA’s recommended interval for high-mileage vehicles, though it now requires another MOT before the next due date on 23 June 2027. The lack of recurring issues implies no obvious pattern of neglect, but the record’s silence on servicing details means some wear-and-tear risks—such as suspension bush deterioration or brake pad life—cannot be confirmed without further inspection. The recorded mileage of 61,000 miles over nine years aligns with typical usage patterns for this age of vehicle, averaging around 6,800 miles annually. There are no abrupt jumps or prolonged stagnation periods in the data, though the gap between the 2021 and 2022 tests (a 9,267-mile increase over a year) suggests either consistent driving or a period of higher usage. The steady progression indicates no extreme wear from prolonged inactivity, but it also means components like tyres, brake discs, and suspension parts may be nearing their expected service life. The most recent MOT was conducted at 61,000 miles, which is slightly above the average for a vehicle of this age, potentially signalling either light use or deferred maintenance on consumable items. Given the clean MOT record, a buyer should prioritise an in-person inspection of high-wear areas that are not captured in the MOT test. Focus on the suspension—particularly the front and rear bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers—for signs of cracking, perishing, or excessive play. The brakes should be checked for uneven wear, glazed pads, or binding calipers, as the MOT does not test for subtle performance issues. Examine the exhaust system for leaks or rust penetration, especially around joints, and inspect the underbody for corrosion around wheel arches, sills, and the subframe. While the MOT history suggests no major structural failures, these areas are critical for long-term reliability and should not be overlooked. Additionally, verify the condition of the tyres, including tread depth and lateral wear patterns, as the absence of MOT defects does not guarantee they have been replaced within the recommended interval.
