2020 Toyota C-HR 2.0L Hybrid electric (clean) · FG70 BZP

This Toyota C-HR has demonstrated a consistent roadworthiness record over the past three consecutive MOT tests, all passing without any recorded defects or advisories. The most recent test on 2025-09-08 at 47,821 miles confirms the vehicle remains compliant with current UK safety and emissions standards, with no evidence of recurring mechanical failures or unresolved issues. The absence of advisories in any of the three most recent tests suggests that previous owners have either maintained the vehicle diligently or that the model exhibits low failure rates in these areas. However, the lack of defects does not preclude the need for a thorough independent inspection, particularly for wear items not routinely checked during an MOT. The mileage progression of approximately 1,184 miles per year—calculated from 44,836 miles in September 2023 to 47,821 miles in September 2025—indicates moderate usage, which is typical for a vehicle of this age. There are no significant gaps or abrupt jumps in mileage between tests, suggesting the vehicle has been driven regularly rather than stored for extended periods. This pattern reduces the likelihood of severe neglect-related wear, such as degraded suspension bushes or corrosion in underbody components, though it does not eliminate the need for verification. The consistent annual mileage also implies that high-wear items like tyres, brake pads, and wiper blades may require closer scrutiny, as they are not covered by the MOT’s static checks. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an inspection of the suspension components, including coil springs, bushes, and dampers, for signs of uneven wear or binding. The brakes, particularly the rear calipers and discs, should be examined for lateral movement or excessive corrosion, as these are common failure points in vehicles of this age and mileage. The exhaust system should be checked for leaks or rust penetration, especially around the catalytic converter and muffler, where corrosion can compromise structural integrity. Additionally, the underbody and wheel arches should be inspected for corrosion, as the C-HR’s design may be susceptible to salt damage in coastal or winter-driven regions. While the MOT record provides reassurance, these areas are not routinely tested and can develop issues between tests.
