Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The vehicle presents a highly stable maintenance trend, passing its MOT consistently over the last four years. The most recent test on 2025-11-18 at 99,879 miles resulted in a pass with zero defects. The record does show a fail on the exact same date and mileage with no defects recorded, indicating an aborted test or an administrative anomaly rather than a mechanical failure. Regardless, the current roadworthiness status is excellent, with the car passing cleanly on its most recent attempt. The mileage accumulation tells a clear story of sustained high-mileage use. Between 2022-10-28 at 52,709 miles and 2024-10-31 at 83,611 miles, the C-HR covered roughly 30,900 miles in two years. This dropped off slightly in the following twelve months, adding 16,268 miles by 2025-11-18. At 99,879 miles, the car averages around 12,485 miles annually, which is high for an eight-year-old vehicle. This sustained usage accelerates wear on consumables, suspension components, and drivetrain parts, though the clean MOT record implies these items have been replaced proactively as needed. Given the absence of any recorded advisories across multiple tests, a buyer might assume the vehicle requires no immediate attention, but high-mileage vehicles often hide wear that testers only flag when it becomes critical. Inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs closely, as high annual mileage degrades these components rapidly. Check the brake discs and calipers for uneven wear or signs of binding, which can develop between tests. Examine the exhaust system for corrosion and verify the structural integrity of the underbody. A clean MOT history is reassuring, but the rapid mileage accumulation demands a thorough physical inspection to catch consumable wear that has not yet reached a failure point.
