2020 Toyota C-HR 1.8L Hybrid electric (clean) · FP70 SBO

The 2020 Toyota C-HR has maintained a clean MOT history across three consecutive tests, all passing without defects or advisories. The most recent inspection on 2025-02-07, at 89,744 miles, confirms the vehicle remains roadworthy under current DVSA standards, with no recurring issues to suggest worsening mechanical conditions. The absence of advisories or failings in any test implies consistent compliance with basic maintenance—though this does not preclude hidden wear beyond visual or functional testing. The recorded mileage of 89,744 miles over six years suggests a high annual average of approximately 14,957 miles, which is above typical usage patterns for this model. The gap between the 2023-09-11 test (42,729 miles) and the 2024-02-14 test (44,905 miles) indicates a rapid accumulation of 2,176 miles in just five months, a trend that may have continued to the latest test. While this does not inherently signal neglect, it does imply accelerated wear on high-mileage components such as suspension bushes, brake pads, and drivetrain fluids, which should be scrutinised. Given the lack of MOT-reported faults, the primary focus for an in-person inspection should centre on components prone to high-mileage degradation. The suspension—particularly coil springs, bushes, and dampers—should be checked for uneven wear or excessive play, as should the brake system for uneven pad thickness, binding calipers, or corrosion on discs. The drivetrain, including CV joints and transfer case (if applicable), warrants inspection for fluid leaks or abnormal noise, while the exhaust system should be examined for rust penetration or loose mounts. Tyre tread depth and uniformity, though not MOT-failed, may have deteriorated beyond the legal minimum, given the mileage. Finally, the underbody and wheel arches should be inspected for corrosion, especially in regions prone to salt or moisture.
