2025 Chery Tiggo 7 Summit Phev Auto Hybrid electric (clean) · DP75 LJC

The DVSA records show no MOT history for this 2025 TIGGO 7 Summit PHEV, meaning there is no recent test outcome to reference. With the absence of any documented pass, fail, or advisory, it is impossible to gauge a maintenance trend; the lack of data could indicate that the vehicle has not yet been presented for an MOT, or that the records are incomplete. Consequently, a prospective buyer should treat the vehicle’s roadworthiness as unverified until a current examination is performed. Mileage for the vehicle is also unrecorded, so no comparison can be made between age and distance covered. For a two‑year‑old model, typical annual usage would be in the region of 10‑12,000 miles; any figure substantially above that would suggest accelerated wear on engine, transmission, suspension and tyre components, while a very low figure could point to prolonged periods of inactivity and the attendant risks of battery discharge, brake disc corrosion and tyre perishing. Without a mileage figure, the buyer must assume the worst‑case scenario and verify the odometer reading against service stamps, fuel receipts or any telematics data that may be available. Given the vehicle’s PHEV architecture and its likely exposure to both electric and conventional power‑train elements, a thorough pre‑purchase inspection should focus on the high‑voltage battery pack, the 12 V auxiliary battery, and the charging inlet. Look for any signs of coolant leakage around the battery thermal management system, corrosion on connector terminals, and ensure that the state‑of‑charge indicator functions correctly. On a test drive, listen for any unusual whine or vibration from the electric motor, check that the transition between electric and combustion propulsion is seamless, and verify that regenerative braking feels smooth without pulsation. Inspect the brake discs and pads for surface rust or glazing, especially if the car has been stationary for long periods, and confirm that the brake fluid has been changed within the last two years, as ageing fluid can lead to spongy pedal feel. Finally, examine the condition of the tyres, noting that even though the vehicle is only two years old, the rubber may have begun to perish if stored improperly; sidewall cracking, hardening or loss of tread depth are red flags. Check the suspension bushes, control arm joints and coil springs for any signs of wear, creaking or uneven tyre wear that could indicate misalignment. Verify that the exhaust system is free of cracks or excessive corrosion, and that all emissions‑related components, such as the catalytic converter and oxygen sensors, are intact. A full MOT and a comprehensive mechanical inspection by a qualified PHEV‑experienced technician are strongly recommended before any purchase commitment.
