AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The 2023 Toyota C-HR remains roadworthy, with no defects recorded in its most recent MOT on 2026-07-03 at 31,711 miles. The prior test on 2025-07-16 at 22,601 miles also showed no issues, confirming a stable maintenance trend over the past 12 months. No recurring faults or structural concerns were flagged, suggesting the vehicle has been well-maintained within its operational lifespan. The mileage progression aligns with typical usage for a three-year-old vehicle, accumulating 9,110 miles between the 2025 and 2026 tests. This rate is slightly below the average of 10,570 miles per year, potentially indicating lighter use or periods of reduced activity. The absence of defects in both tests implies consistent care, though the sparse data limits insight into earlier maintenance patterns. A buyer should verify suspension components, such as bushes and coil springs, for wear, as these can degrade over time without immediate MOT consequences. Brake systems, including calipers and discs, should be inspected for binding or uneven wear, though no such issues were noted. Corrosion risks, particularly in high-humidity regions, warrant scrutiny of body panels and undercarriage. The exhaust system and emissions compliance should also be confirmed, as these are critical for roadworthiness but not always flagged in routine tests.

Our Verdict

This is a strongly recommended purchase for a nearly new hybrid SUV with an unblemished test history. The Toyota C-HR FL23ABU offers low risk thanks to two consecutive clean MOT passes and modest annual mileage.

As a hybrid, check that the battery condition indicator shows full health and that the seller can demonstrate regular use rather than long storage, which can affect 12-volt battery life. There is no aggregate model failure data available, but the individual history here is reassuring, so a fair price close to trade guides for a low-mileage 23-plate C-HR is reasonable.

Insurance groups for the C-HR hybrid are moderate, and routine maintenance is simplified by regenerative braking reducing wear. Estimated annual running cost including fuel, tax, insurance and typical servicing is around £900-£1,100 based on current mileage and hybrid efficiency.

Check underneath for any corrosion or damage given the vehicle is only three years old, and ensure the charging or energy flow display operates normally. Without model aggregate data, rely on the clean individual record but still request proof of scheduled hybrid system checks.

The 2023 Toyota C-HR (FL23ABU) is a grey hybrid electric model first registered in March 2023 with a 1.8-litre Euro 6 AP engine. Its MOT history shows two passes with no defects recorded, at 22,601 miles in July 2025 and 31,711 miles in July 2026. With just over 9,000 miles added in the past year, the vehicle appears lightly used for its age and presents a sound value proposition as a recent plate hybrid.

No aggregate MOT data is available for the Toyota C-HR, but this individual example shows a fault-free history across two tests.
