2020 Toyota C-HR 1.8L Hybrid electric (clean) · WN70 TPY

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 7 May 2026, though the report indicates a shift in the maintenance trend. While the history from 2023 to 2025 was remarkably clean, with only a minor failure for a missing wing mirror, the latest inspection has introduced two mechanical advisories. This suggests the vehicle is entering a phase where standard wear-and-tear components are beginning to reach the end of their service life, moving from a period of negligible defects to one requiring proactive maintenance. With a recorded mileage of 61,683 miles over approximately six years, the vehicle has averaged roughly 10,280 miles per year. This is considered typical usage for this class of vehicle and indicates a consistent driving pattern without prolonged periods of standing or excessive heavy-duty use. From a mechanical perspective, this mileage suggests that while the drivetrain should remain robust, the vehicle is at the expected interval for the replacement of various consumables and the initial degradation of rubber suspension components. Prospective buyers should pay close attention to the advisory regarding the rear brake pads wearing thin. While not yet a failure, these will require replacement in the near future to avoid scoring the brake discs. During a test drive, listen for any grinding noises or a lack of bite from the pedal. Additionally, the worn rear bush on the offside front suspension arm is a point of concern. This component is critical for maintaining wheel alignment and steering precision. Listen for characteristic clunks or knocks when traversing uneven road surfaces or during low-speed manoeuvring, and inspect the front tyres for any signs of uneven or accelerated wear on the offside. Beyond the specific MOT advisories, the buyer should verify the full service history to ensure that calendar-based maintenance has been adhered to. Particular attention should be paid to the condition of the engine oil and coolant, as well as the health of the 12V battery, which can degrade over a six-year period. A physical inspection of the tyre sidewalls is recommended to ensure there is no perishing or cracking, and the brake discs should be checked for any surface corrosion or pitting that may have occurred if the vehicle spent any time stationary.
