2017 Toyota C-HR Icon 1.2L Petrol · MM05 MON

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness with a consistently stable maintenance record. The most recent test conducted on 29 April 2024 at 28,576 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded. This indicates that the vehicle has been maintained to a high standard and that the mechanical and structural components met all regulatory requirements without failure across the last three inspection cycles. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,175 miles per year. Between November 2021 at 17,112 miles and January 2023 at 23,310 miles, the car covered 6,198 miles over fourteen months, while the subsequent interval saw 5,266 miles leading up to the April 2024 test. This low usage suggests minimal wear and tear on the drivetrain and suspension components, though it also increases the risk of component degradation due to age or periods of inactivity. Despite the clean MOT history, a buyer must inspect for specific issues associated with low-mileage cars. Focus on checking for flatspotting on tyres and cracking of rubber components like suspension bushes and wiper blades, which can perish from age regardless of mileage. Verify the condition of brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting, since infrequent use often prevents the pads from cleaning the rotors effectively. Ensure all fluid levels, particularly brake fluid and coolant, are fresh as these chemicals degrade over time even when the vehicle remains stationary.
