2019 Toyota C-HR 1.8L Hybrid electric · LD12 TJD

The 2019 Toyota C-HR has maintained a clean MOT history with no defects or advisories recorded across all five tests, including the most recent inspection on 2025-07-05 at 38,345 miles. This suggests consistent compliance with UK roadworthiness standards over the past two years, though the duplicate entry for 2023-07-17—where the vehicle was both failed and passed—appears anomalous and warrants confirmation of its validity. No recurring faults have been documented, indicating either meticulous maintenance or, less likely, a vehicle that has not yet encountered significant wear beyond routine consumables. The recorded mileage of 38,345 miles over seven years equates to approximately 5,478 miles annually, which is unusually low for a vehicle of this age. The most notable gap occurs between the 2022 and 2023 tests, where the mileage jumped from 18,176 to 24,583—a 6,407-mile increase in just under a year, followed by another 6,273 miles to 30,859 by 2024. This pattern suggests periods of inactivity or very light use, which could mitigate some wear on suspension bushes, coil springs, and drivetrain components. However, prolonged standing may have contributed to minor corrosion in wheel arches or underbody areas, particularly if the vehicle was exposed to moisture. Given the lack of recorded defects, the primary focus for an in-person inspection should centre on components typically affected by low mileage but prolonged storage. Check for corrosion around wheel bearings, suspension mounts, and subframe connections, as these areas are prone to rust even with minimal movement. Examine the brake discs and pads for uneven wear, though the absence of binding calipers or excessive thickness variation in past tests is reassuring. The tyres, while not flagged in MOTs, should be inspected for uneven tread wear, which could indicate alignment issues or prolonged static loading. Finally, verify the integrity of the exhaust system, particularly at joints and hangers, as emissions-related failures are rare but possible in vehicles with extended periods of disuse.
