2021 Toyota C-HR 1.8L Hybrid electric (clean) · EF21 ABO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, with the most recent MOT on 2026-02-09 at 51,550 miles recording a pass and no defects. However, a prior failure on 2025-02-20 at 41,800 miles—despite no recorded defects—suggests potential inconsistency in testing or unresolved issues. The absence of recurring mechanical faults in subsequent tests indicates a stable maintenance trend, though the 2025 failure warrants scrutiny. No advisories or critical issues were flagged in the latest assessment, confirming functional compliance. The mileage of 51,550 miles over five years aligns with typical usage, averaging 10,310 miles annually. A notable gap exists between the 2024-02-16 test (32,167 miles) and 2025-02-20 test (41,800 miles), reflecting a 9,633-mile increase in 12 months. This rapid accumulation may indicate heavier usage or potential neglect between tests. The lack of defects in the 2024 and 2026 tests suggests consistent maintenance, but the 2025 failure without recorded issues raises questions about the reliability of that test outcome. A buyer should verify the suspension system, particularly suspension bushes and coil springs, for wear given the mileage. The braking system, including brake discs and calipers, should be inspected for uneven wear or corrosion. While no structural rust or exhaust emissions issues were noted, the 2025 failure implies a need to confirm that all components were properly addressed. A pre-purchase inspection should focus on these areas to ensure no latent problems were overlooked.
