2023 Toyota C-HR 1.8L Hybrid electric · FP23 KDK

The Toyota C-HR presents a clean bill of health based on its sole recorded MOT entry. The maintenance trend is effectively stable, with no historical defects to track for recurrence or deterioration. In the May 2026 test at 14,563 miles, the vehicle passed with zero advisories or failures, indicating no immediate mechanical or structural concerns at the time of inspection. At roughly three years old with 14,563 miles recorded, the vehicle has covered approximately 4,854 miles per year, which is notably low for its age. The MOT history contains only a single entry dated 6 May 2026, just over a month before today's date of 17 June 2026. There is no prior MOT record to establish a longer trend, meaning the vehicle likely sat unused for an extended period before its first test at this mileage. Such prolonged standing can mask wear patterns, as components like tyres, brake discs, and suspension bushes may develop flat spots, surface corrosion, or perishing from inactivity rather than use. Despite the clean MOT result, a buyer should still inspect the tyre sidewalls for age-related cracking, as rubber degrades over time regardless of tread depth. Brake discs and pads deserve close visual examination for surface corrosion that can develop during long periods of standing. The suspension bushes, coil springs, and exhaust system should be checked for any signs of perishing or early corrosion that low-mileage use alone would not typically cause. The underbody and structural mounting points warrant a thorough look, particularly if the vehicle has been stored on uneven ground or exposed to standing water. A short test drive will confirm whether the brakes bind, the steering tracks straight, and the suspension operates without noise or imbalance, none of which the single clean MOT can fully guarantee.
