2019 Toyota C-HR 1.8L Hybrid electric · FN69 KKD

The 2019 Toyota C-HR presented for evaluation passed its most recent DVSA MOT test on 19 November 2025 with no defects or advisories recorded, indicating that the vehicle met all statutory roadworthiness requirements at the time of inspection. Looking back through the recorded test history, the vehicle has maintained a fully pass status across all four recorded tests, with the only advisories appearing on the 2024 examination. The overall maintenance trend therefore appears stable and consistent, with no progression of faults or repeat advisories suggesting underlying neglect. The clearance from advisories in 2025 suggests the previously noted tyre condition issues were addressed, though a prospective buyer should still verify the current condition of consumable items. With 50,674 miles recorded on a vehicle of approximately seven years of age, the C-HR is averaging around 7,239 miles annually, which sits comfortably within the typical usage band for a car of this age and is neither excessively high nor indicative of long periods of standing unused. This level of mileage is consistent with regular mixed driving and suggests that mechanical components such as the engine, transmission, and drivetrain should have been subjected to normal operational stresses rather than the accelerated wear associated with high-mileage use, nor the potential degradation that affects vehicles left idle for extended periods. The steady accumulation of mileage between tests, with no unusual gaps, points to a vehicle that has been in consistent service. Given the generally clean MOT history but the vehicle's age of seven years, a prospective purchaser should prioritise inspection of age-related components even where the MOT record is unremarkable. The advisories recorded in November 2024 concerning perished front tyres with worn outer edges are particularly relevant to monitor, as Toyota C-HR vehicles are known to suffer from inner and outer shoulder wear due to the factory suspension geometry and steering settings. On a test drive, listen for any vibration through the steering wheel which could indicate wheel imbalance, and inspect both front tyres closely for any feathering or stepped wear across the tread. The advisory relating to the Tyre Pressure Monitoring System warning light should also be confirmed as resolved, as persistent TPMS illumination can indicate faulty sensors within the wheels, a known wear item on vehicles of this age. Beyond the items referenced in the MOT record, age-appropriate due diligence should include a thorough inspection of the underside of the vehicle for any surface corrosion, particularly around the suspension arms, subframes, and rear hub assemblies, as the C-HR's lower body panels and undertrays can trap road salt and moisture. The brake discs and calipers should be examined for signs of binding, corrosion pitting around the circumference, or uneven pad wear, especially given that urban-driven examples can suffer from rear disc corrosion due to light usage combined with infrequent heavy braking. Verify that the 12-volt battery is holding adequate charge and inspect its date stamp, as batteries beyond five years of age are prone to cold-weather failure. Finally, ensure that time-based servicing has been carried out irrespective of mileage, including replacement of the engine coolant, brake fluid, and transmission fluid at the manufacturer-recommended intervals, and confirm that the service book is fully stamped with documented history to support the mechanical integrity of this otherwise well-presented example.
