2023 Toyota C-HR 1.8L Hybrid electric · GM23 BWD

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, with a clean and recent MOT result from 16 March 2026 at 11,357 miles. The test outcome was a pass, indicating no critical or dangerous defects were identified at that time. The only advisory noted was minor windscreen damage not affecting the driver’s view, which does not constitute a failure and poses no immediate safety risk. There are no prior failures or recurring issues in the provided history, suggesting a stable maintenance trend with no signs of deteriorating mechanical condition. The recorded mileage of 11,357 miles over three years equates to an average of approximately 3,786 miles per year—significantly below the UK average for similar vehicles. This low annual usage implies either light driving or potential periods of extended inactivity, which can lead to issues such as brake caliper binding, battery degradation, or rubber component hardening if not properly maintained. However, the absence of any prior MOT failures or advisories related to these concerns suggests the vehicle has been kept in use and stored appropriately between trips, with no evidence of neglect in the current record. Given the lack of structural or mechanical faults in the MOT history, a buyer should still conduct a thorough visual inspection of the suspension components, particularly the coil springs and control arm bushes, as these can degrade silently under infrequent use. The rear brakes should be checked for binding, especially if the vehicle has been parked for long durations, as this can cause uneven wear or seized calipers. Additionally, the windscreen damage flagged in March 2026 should be examined closely to confirm it hasn’t worsened or compromised visibility, and the surrounding frame should be inspected for signs of impact or corrosion. A full service history would further support confidence in the vehicle’s ongoing care.
