2021 Toyota C-HR Orange Edition HEV CVT 2.0L Hybrid electric · FG21 CXK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the most recent inspection indicates a minor decline in preventative maintenance standards. While the car passed its MOT in April 2026 at 36,068 miles, it failed a test just five days prior due to three distinct defects. The inoperative reversing lamp and misaligned headlamp represent simple electrical and mechanical adjustments that were clearly rectified, but the presence of perishing on both rear tyres suggests that consumable rubber-based components are being overlooked until the annual test deadline. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a typical low-use hybrid vehicle, averaging approximately 7,200 miles per year. Between the April 2024 test at 20,234 miles and the March 2025 test at 26,837 miles, the car covered 6,603 miles, showing steady and predictable usage. The subsequent 9,231 miles covered leading to April 2026 indicates a slight increase in annual distance, which generally ensures even wear on the drivetrain and suspension components. A buyer should specifically inspect the condition of the rear tyres, as the tester flagged cracking and perishing on both the nearside and offside sides in April 2026. This condition often occurs when vehicles sit for extended periods or use aged tyres that have reached their chemical limit despite having sufficient tread depth. Given the clean records from early 2024 and 2025, the structural integrity and primary mechanical systems appear well-maintained for a vehicle of this age, though the buyer should verify the headlamp alignment and lighting functionality to ensure the previous failures were fully resolved.
