2020 Toyota C-HR 2.0L Hybrid electric (clean) · L1 BHR

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate following the pass on 26 September 2025 at 13,880 miles. While the car passed its most recent inspection, the maintenance trend shows a recurring issue with rubber degradation that warrants attention. The failure on 25 September 2025 due to a non-functional side repeater indicates a lack of basic pre-test checks, suggesting that maintenance has been reactive rather than proactive. The recorded mileage of 13,880 miles over six years confirms a very low usage pattern of approximately 2,300 miles annually. This infrequent driving cycle explains the current state of the tyres, as rubber compounds often perish from age and ozone exposure rather than road wear. The gap between the 2023 test at 6,156 miles and the 2024 test at 10,127 miles shows consistent but light use, meaning the drivetrain and mechanical components have seen minimal stress compared to a high-mileage equivalent. Prospective buyers must prioritise a physical inspection of the tyre sidewalls. Although the MOT tester noted slight perishing in September 2025, you should verify if these tyres are original to the vehicle, as six-year-old rubber often requires replacement regardless of tread depth. Inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion, a common symptom of vehicles that spend long periods standing idle in damp conditions. Check the operation of all lighting circuits and ensure the windscreen wipers are replaced, as the history confirms a pattern of ignoring minor consumable defects until the annual test.
