2020 Toyota C-HR Orange Edition HEV CVT 2.0L Hybrid electric (clean) · NJ20 YKF

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean MOT record following a minor failure in March 2026. The most recent test on 4 March 2026 at 27,442 miles initially resulted in a failure due to an offside rear tyre with a cut exposing the ply and cords. This was rectified immediately to achieve a pass with no further defects recorded. This failure appears to be an isolated incident involving a consumable item rather than a sign of mechanical neglect or systemic maintenance issues. The mileage history indicates very low annual usage, averaging approximately 4,500 miles per year. The vehicle recorded 7,105 miles in March 2023 and has since climbed to 27,442 miles as of March 2026. This low-mileage pattern suggests the car has seen light use, which generally reduces wear on mechanical components like the drivetrain and suspension. However, the significant gap between the 7,105 miles in 2023 and 16,133 miles in February 2024 shows a period of higher usage followed by a more gradual accumulation. The MOT history shows minimal interference with the vehicle's structural integrity or complex systems. The February 2024 failure at 16,133 miles for an offside headlamp aim being too low was a minor adjustment issue rather than a component failure. Because the vehicle has spent much of its life covering low distances, a buyer should inspect the battery health and check for any signs of deterioration from long periods of inactivity. While the electronic and lighting systems have remained largely fault-free, the recent tyre failure highlights the need for a thorough visual inspection of all remaining tyres for sidewall damage or uneven wear. A physical check of the braking system and suspension bushes is also advisable to ensure that the low-mileage usage has not led to uneven component aging or seized calipers. Overall, the documented history suggests a well-maintained vehicle with no recurring mechanical trends.
