2017 Toyota C-HR 1.2L Petrol · WN67 ABF

The most recent MOT test conducted on 3 November 2025 resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. Looking at the full five-year history from 2021 to 2025, the vehicle demonstrates an exceptionally stable maintenance trend. There have been no recorded failures or recurring issues, suggesting that the vehicle has consistently met all regulatory standards for structural integrity, braking efficiency, and exhaust emissions without any noted deterioration in its primary components. The recorded mileage of 17,167 miles is remarkably low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging less than 2,000 miles per year. While this indicates minimal wear on the engine, transmission, and drivetrain, such low usage often implies that the vehicle has spent significant periods stationary. This specific usage profile can be deceptive; while the mechanical components may have low cumulative wear, the lack of regular thermal cycling and movement can lead to different types of degradation that are not always apparent in a standard MOT inspection. Because of the infrequent use, a prospective buyer should conduct a rigorous physical inspection focusing on age-related degradation. Closely examine the tyres for sidewall cracking or perishing, as rubber oxidises over time even if the tread depth remains high. It is also vital to check the 12V battery health, as long periods of inactivity can lead to sulphation and reduced cranking power. Inspect the brake discs for heavy corrosion or pitting, which can occur when the vehicle sits for extended periods, and during your test drive, listen for any signs of binding calipers or uneven braking performance that could indicate seized components. Finally, verify that the vehicle has been maintained according to a time-based schedule rather than just a mileage-based one. Fluids such as brake fluid and engine oil can degrade chemically over several years regardless of how few miles the car has covered. Check the service book for evidence of annual oil changes and fluid replacements to ensure the internal components have not been subjected to moisture or acid buildup. During the test drive, pay attention to the suspension for any subtle knocks or clunks, as rubber bushes can perish and harden when not regularly exercised, potentially affecting the vehicle's handling and ride quality.
