2020 Toyota C-HR 1.8L Hybrid electric (clean) · DF69 SYA

The most recent MOT test conducted on 30 January 2026 resulted in a pass with no recorded defects. Reviewing the history from 2023 through to the present, the vehicle demonstrates a highly stable and consistent maintenance trend, having passed every annual inspection without a single advisory or failure. This suggests that the vehicle has been kept in a condition that meets the required safety and environmental standards, though it is vital to cross-reference this with a full service history to ensure routine mechanical maintenance has kept pace with these regulatory checks. With a recorded mileage of 39,159 miles over approximately six years, the vehicle has covered an average of roughly 6,526 miles per annum. This represents relatively light usage compared to the UK national average, which typically implies less mechanical wear on the engine, transmission, and braking systems. While lower mileage is generally a positive attribute for longevity, it can sometimes indicate that the vehicle has been subject to shorter, less frequent journeys, which can have specific implications for component health. Because the MOT record is entirely clean, your physical inspection should focus on age-related degradation rather than wear-related failures. You should closely examine the tyres for any signs of perishing or sidewall cracking, as rubber can degrade over time even if the tread depth remains high. Additionally, check the brake discs for excessive corrosion or pitting, which can occur if the vehicle has been stationary for extended periods. During your test drive, listen for any signs of binding calipers or uneven braking, and be alert to any subtle clunks from the suspension bushes or coil springs that might suggest rubber components have hardened due to age. Finally, ensure that the vehicle has adhered to a time-based servicing schedule rather than just a mileage-based one. Fluids such as brake fluid and engine coolant are subject to chemical degradation over time, so verify that these have been replaced according to the manufacturer's intervals. It is also prudent to check the health of the 12V battery, as low-mileage vehicles are more susceptible to battery depletion and reduced capacity. Confirming that the service book contains regular stamps will provide much greater confidence in the vehicle's long-term reliability than the clean MOT history alone.
