2024 Toyota C-HR Icon HEV CVT Hybrid electric (clean) · FD74 NFM

The vehicle has no recorded MOT history in the DVSA database, meaning that no formal test result is available to confirm whether it has passed or failed any recent inspection. Consequently, there is no basis on which to judge a trend in maintenance quality; the absence of data could indicate that the car has either never been subjected to an MOT, that the records have not been entered, or that it is being sold before its first statutory test. Without a documented pass or any advisory notes, the prospective buyer must treat the roadworthiness status as unknown and rely on a thorough independent examination. The mileage reading is not supplied, so a direct comparison with the vehicle’s age – a 2024 model now approaching its third year – cannot be made. For a car of this age in the UK, average annual usage typically ranges between 7,000 and 12,000 miles; any figure substantially above this would suggest higher wear on engine, transmission, suspension bushings and brake components, while a very low reading could point to prolonged periods of inactivity, which in turn raises the risk of tyre sidewall perishing, battery sulphation and corrosion of brake discs or caliper pistons. In the absence of a mileage figure, the buyer should request a verified odometer reading and, if possible, a service book that records mileage at each service interval to establish a realistic usage pattern. Given the lack of MOT data and an unknown mileage, the buyer should carry out a comprehensive visual and tactile inspection. Examine the tyre tread depth and sidewalls for cracking, dry rot or uneven wear that could betray mis‑alignment or suspension degradation; check the wheel rims for corrosion or damage. Inspect the 12‑volt auxiliary battery terminals for corrosion and assess the battery’s state of charge, as a vehicle that has been idle for extended periods may have a weakened battery that will affect the hybrid system’s start‑stop functionality. Verify that the coolant, brake fluid and power‑steering fluid are at the correct levels and appear clear, noting that calendar‑based fluid replacement is generally recommended every two years regardless of mileage, especially for the hybrid’s high‑voltage battery cooling circuit. Finally, scrutinise the braking system for any signs of disc rust, especially on the rear discs which can corrode quickly when a car sits unused; ensure the caliper pins move freely and that there is no uneven pad wear that could indicate a sticking caliper. Test the suspension by applying pressure over each wheel to feel for excessive play in the control arm bushes, ball joints or shock absorbers, and listen for clunking noises when the car is driven over bumps. Confirm that the hybrid powertrain and CVT have received regular service in line with Toyota’s interval schedule, looking for service stamps that record oil changes, inverter coolant replacement and any software updates. A full mechanical inspection by a qualified technician, coupled with a review of any available service documentation, will be essential before committing to purchase.
