2021 Toyota C-HR 1.8L Hybrid electric (clean) · WM70 CUA

This Toyota C-HR has maintained a clean MOT history with no defects or advisories across three consecutive tests, most recently passing on 5 September 2025 at 25,653 miles. The absence of recurring issues suggests the vehicle has been subjected to consistent, if not rigorous, maintenance, though the lack of advisories does not preclude hidden wear—particularly in areas like suspension bushes or coil springs, which often fail without pre-warning. The most recent test’s clean sheet indicates no immediate cause for concern, but the 10-month gap since the last pass (28 October 2024 to 5 September 2025) is unusually long for a vehicle of this age, raising questions about whether the owner has been proactive about pre-MOT servicing or if the car has been lightly used during this period. The recorded mileage of 25,653 miles over approximately five years—roughly 5,131 miles annually—is unusually low for a vehicle of this age, especially given the C-HR’s typical usage patterns. The largest mileage jump occurred between the January 2024 (10,567 miles) and October 2024 (13,465 miles) tests, a 2,898-mile increase in just nine months, which could imply either a period of heavier use or an extended period of inactivity followed by rapid accumulation. The subsequent 12,188-mile gap between October 2024 and September 2025 suggests the car may have been stored or driven infrequently, potentially accelerating wear on components like tyres, battery health, and suspension fluids. The sparse MOT data does not provide insight into service intervals, but the low mileage could mask underlying issues if the vehicle has been stationary for prolonged periods. Given the clean MOT record, a buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of suspension components, particularly the rear suspension bushes and coil springs, as these are common failure points that do not always trigger MOT advisories until they are critically worn. The brakes, while not flagged, should be checked for uneven wear or binding calipers, as the absence of defects does not guarantee long-term reliability—especially if the vehicle has been driven sporadically. Tyre condition is another critical area; failing twice on tread depth (if applicable in prior tests) would indicate neglect, but since none are recorded here, a visual inspection of tread depth and lateral wear is essential. Finally, the battery and electrical systems warrant attention, as prolonged inactivity can lead to corrosion or failure without obvious external signs. The lack of advisories does not equate to flawless condition, and a pre-purchase inspection remains indispensable.
