2020 Toyota C-HR Orange Edition HEV CVT 2.0L Hybrid electric (clean) · LL69 YKN

The vehicle presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, with the most recent MOT conducted on 5 February 2026 at 29,045 miles passing cleanly with zero defects. That February 2026 test followed an initial failure on the same day for an offside front side repeater lens defect, a minor electrical issue rectified immediately within the same session. The preceding three annual tests from 2024 and 2025 also passed without advisories, indicating consistent upkeep across the vehicle's life. The mileage accumulation tells a clear story of genuinely low use. Covering just 8,696 miles between the February 2024 test at 10,489 miles and the February 2026 test at 29,045 miles, the vehicle averaged roughly 4,350 miles per year over that two-year window. This is well below the typical annual figure of 8,000 to 12,000 miles for a vehicle of this age. Such low mileage reduces expected wear on consumable components including brake discs, pads, tyres, and suspension bushes, though prolonged periods of inactivity can introduce its own concerns around typer flat-spotting, brake surface corrosion, and dried seals. The only recurring pattern in the failure history relates to minor, non-structural defects. The February 2024 failure involved a nearside front tyre fouling the wheel arch liner, suggesting either an incorrect tyre fitment or a displaced liner that was subsequently corrected. The February 2026 repeater lens failure was a trivial electrical item. Neither fault points to any underlying mechanical deficiency or structural corrosion risk. A buyer conducting a physical inspection should still verify the condition of the hybrid battery system given the low-mileage profile, as hybrid packs can degrade from underuse as much as from high cycling. Check the underside for surface corrosion that can develop on vehicles standing for extended periods, inspect tyre dates and sidewalls for age-related cracking despite low tread wear, and confirm the regenerative braking system operates smoothly through its full range. The brake discs should be examined for lipping and uneven surface corrosion, a common issue on vehicles covering short distances where pads do not adequately wipe the disc surfaces. Overall, the MOT record supports a well-maintained, lightly used vehicle with no evidence of serious mechanical or structural concern.
