2020 Toyota C-HR 2.0L Hybrid electric (clean) · GL63 CAM

The most recent MOT, carried out on 14 February 2026, was passed with no recorded defects, mirroring the clean results from the preceding three annual tests. The only non‑critical note in the history is an advisory from the July 2023 test concerning front‑wiper smearing and the presence of an under‑tray, both of which are minor and do not affect the pass/fail status. Overall the MOT record demonstrates a stable maintenance pattern, with no deterioration in the vehicle’s core safety items over the six‑year period. At 25 091 miles the 2020 Toyota C‑HR averages just over 4 000 miles per year, well below the typical UK usage of around 10‑12 000 miles annually for a vehicle of this age. Such low mileage often points to light daily use or extended periods of storage, which can be advantageous for wear‑related components but may also expose the car to age‑related degradation such as rubber hardening or corrosion in parts that sit idle. There are no abrupt spikes or large gaps in the recorded mileage that would suggest a sudden high‑stress episode. For a prospective buyer the primary inspection points should focus on age‑related items rather than mileage wear. Examine the tyre sidewalls for cracking, dry rot or any signs of perishing, and verify that the tread depth meets legal limits; even low‑mileage tyres can become brittle after six years. Check the condition of the front wiper blades and the operation of the wiper system, replacing the blades if they smear, and inspect the under‑tray for corrosion, loose fastenings or trapped moisture that could affect the exhaust or under‑body shielding. A thorough visual and tactile assessment of the suspension bushes, shock absorbers and coil springs is advisable, as rubber components can deteriorate when the car is stationary for long periods. Given the vehicle’s age, confirm that the 12‑volt battery is still within its service life by testing the cranking voltage and looking for any signs of sulfation or leakage; a battery older than four years often benefits from replacement. Verify that the engine oil, brake fluid and coolant have been changed in line with Toyota’s time‑based service intervals, as fluids degrade even without high mileage and can lead to reduced lubrication, brake fade or cooling inefficiency. Finally, ensure the brake discs are free of excessive surface rust or scoring and that the calipers move smoothly without binding, listening for any pulsation or shudder during a moderate‑speed brake test. A complete service book with regular oil changes, filter replacements and any recall work will further substantiate the car’s roadworthiness.
