2017 Toyota C-HR 1.8L Hybrid electric (clean) · MW17 MBO

The 2017 Toyota C-HR presents a stable and improving maintenance profile as of its most recent MOT on 7 June 2025 at 78,491 miles. The vehicle has passed every recorded test since 2021, and the trajectory of defects shows a clear downward trend. The June 2025 test flagged only a minor advisory for rear brake pads wearing thin, a routine consumable wear item, with no other defects recorded. This contrasts sharply with the 2023 test at 56,430 miles, where four separate tyre defects were flagged, indicating the previous owner addressed those issues promptly and has since maintained the vehicle to a higher standard. The mileage accumulation of roughly 8,721 miles per year is entirely typical for a vehicle of this age and suggests consistent, regular use rather than prolonged standing or excessive wear. The annual tests from 2021 through 2025 show steady, predictable mileage growth of approximately 10,000 to 11,000 miles per year, with no suspicious gaps or sudden spikes that would raise concerns about odometer tampering or long-term neglect. The record is clean and consistent, which supports confidence in the vehicle's documented history. Prospective buyers should still inspect the rear brake components in person, as the June 2025 advisory for thin rear brake pads suggests these may require replacement in the near term. The front brake discs and pads, along with the handbrake mechanism, warrant a brief check given the rear brake wear pattern. Tyre condition deserves attention too, given the recurring tyre advisories in 2022 and 2023, even though these appear to have been rectified. Examine all four sidewalls for cracking or perishing, particularly if the tyres are original or have not been replaced recently. Beyond the flagged items, a brief underbody inspection for corrosion on suspension mounting points, subframes, and exhaust mounting brackets would be prudent for a vehicle approaching nine years of age. The coil springs, suspension bushes, and shock absorber dust covers should be checked for deterioration. While the MOT record shows no structural or safety-critical defects, a pre-purchase inspection focusing on these areas will confirm whether the vehicle's physical condition matches its clean test history.
