2022 Toyota C-HR 2.0L Hybrid electric (clean) · FD22 ABF

The most recent MOT, carried out on 3 June 2026, was passed with no recorded defects, and the preceding test on 10 June 2025 also returned a clean result. This uninterrupted record of successful examinations suggests that the vehicle has been maintained in a consistently satisfactory condition, with no apparent deterioration in the areas inspected by the DVSA. The absence of advisories or failures over the two‑year span indicates that any routine servicing required by the manufacturer has likely been observed, and that the fundamental mechanical and safety systems remain within acceptable limits. At four years old the C‑HR has logged only 16,480 miles, equating to just over 4,100 miles per annum. Such low annual mileage is well below the UK average for a vehicle of this age and typically points to light usage, possibly including periods of extended storage. Light use can be advantageous for wear‑related components such as the clutch, gearbox and engine internals, but it also means that certain parts may have aged more than they have been exercised, for example rubber bushings, seals and the battery. There are no signs of rapid mileage accumulation that would raise concerns about accelerated wear of brakes, tyres or suspension elements. For a buyer, the first visual inspection should focus on the condition of the tyres. Even with modest mileage, tyre rubber can deteriorate with age, especially if the car has spent long periods stationary; look for sidewall cracking, dry rot or loss of tread depth that is inconsistent with the recorded mileage. Examine the tyre pressure monitoring system sensors for any fault codes and verify that the wheels are free of corrosion or damage to the rims. The 12‑volt battery, now four years old, should be tested for cranking voltage and capacity, as batteries can lose charge while the vehicle sits, and a weak battery may cause starting issues or intermittent electrical faults. Given the low usage, it is prudent to confirm that time‑based services have been performed. Check the service book for evidence of oil and filter changes, coolant flushes and replacement of the brake fluid, all of which are recommended on a calendar basis regardless of mileage. Inspect the brake discs and pads for surface rust, glazing or uneven wear; even if the car has not been driven hard, moisture can cause corrosion that may lead to shudder or reduced stopping performance when the brakes are first applied after a period of inactivity. Finally, look under the vehicle for any signs of fluid leaks, corrosion on suspension bushes, and the condition of the exhaust system, ensuring that mounts and bushings are intact and that there is no excessive play in the steering rack or wheel bearings. A thorough test drive listening for clunks, vibrations or abnormal noises will help confirm that the low‑mileage C‑HR remains mechanically sound and ready for continued use.
