2023 Toyota C-HR 1.8L Hybrid electric · RO72 TPZ

The latest MOT test conducted on 22 June 2026 resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. As this is the initial recorded test for this 2023 model, the maintenance trend appears stable, and the vehicle currently meets all legal safety and environmental requirements. The absence of any advisory notes indicates that the vehicle is not currently exhibiting the typical early signs of wear and tear often seen in vehicles of this age. The vehicle has covered 43,637 miles in approximately three years, averaging roughly 14,546 miles per annum. This is considered high usage for a vehicle of this age and class, suggesting a profile of frequent long-distance commuting or heavy daily use. Mechanically, this accelerated mileage means that consumables such as brake pads, tyres, and cabin filters will reach their wear limits significantly sooner than average. There is also a greater likelihood of accelerated wear on suspension bushes and coil springs compared to a lower-mileage equivalent. Since the MOT history is clean, the prospective buyer must focus on a detailed physical inspection and a review of the service history. It is essential to verify the service book stamps to ensure that oil change intervals have been strictly adhered to, as high-mileage usage demands consistent lubrication to preserve engine longevity. Particular attention should be paid to the tyre treads; while they may pass a legal minimum, high mileage often leads to uneven wear patterns, such as inner-edge wear, which can indicate a requirement for wheel alignment or the onset of suspension component failure. During the test drive, listen for any knocks or clunks from the suspension over uneven surfaces, which would suggest the high mileage is impacting the dampers or bushings. Check the brake pedal feel for any sponginess and inspect the brake discs for significant lip wear or scoring. Given the usage profile, the 12V battery health should be verified, as high-cycle usage can degrade capacity over time. Finally, ensure all fluid levels are correct and that there are no signs of weeping from the engine seals or gearbox, which can occasionally manifest in higher-mileage examples.
