2023 Toyota C-HR 2.0L Hybrid electric (clean) · EX23 VFY

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2026-02-23 at 34,355 miles recorded a pass with no defects, suggesting a stable roadworthiness status. However, the preceding test on 2026-02-19 at 34,337 miles resulted in a failure despite no defects being listed. This inconsistency raises questions about the accuracy of the failure or potential unresolved issues. The lack of recorded defects in both tests implies no immediate mechanical or structural risks, but the brief interval between tests—just four days—limits the ability to assess long-term trends. The vehicle’s mileage of 34,355 miles aligns with an average annual usage of 11,452 miles, consistent with its age. The MOT records span a narrow timeframe, with no prior tests documented, indicating limited historical data. The minimal mileage increase of 18 miles between the two tests suggests the vehicle has been driven sparingly in recent months, which may reflect light usage or periods of inactivity. This pattern could hint at potential issues like stagnant fluid systems or corrosion, though no such concerns are noted in the records. A physical inspection is recommended to verify the absence of undetected faults. Focus on suspension components, such as bushes and coil springs, which may degrade during periods of inactivity. Check for brake disc warping or caliper binding, as these can emerge without MOT detection. Inspect the exhaust system for corrosion, particularly if the vehicle was stored, and confirm the integrity of the bodyshell for rust or structural fatigue. The lack of recorded defects is reassuring, but the failed MOT without explanation warrants further scrutiny of the vehicle’s mechanical and emissions systems.
