2019 Toyota C-HR 1.2L Petrol · YB19 TMV

This Toyota C-HR has demonstrated a stable roadworthiness trend over the past three MOT cycles, with no defects or advisories recorded in any of the five tests since February 2023. The most recent test on January 31, 2026, confirmed compliance across all mandatory and advisory items, including brakes, suspension, steering, and emissions. The absence of repeated failures or advisories suggests the vehicle has undergone consistent maintenance, though the lack of recorded defects does not preclude hidden wear—particularly in high-stress components like suspension bushes or brake calipers—which require visual and functional inspection. The dual January 2026 tests, both passing, indicate no urgent mechanical issues were overlooked, but the proximity of these tests to the current date (seven months ago) means some components may now be approaching their service intervals. The recorded mileage of 45,631 miles over approximately seven years aligns with typical usage patterns for this model, averaging around 6,500 miles annually. There are no significant gaps or spikes in mileage between tests, as the most recent MOT was conducted just over seven months ago, which is standard for a vehicle of this age. The consistent interval between tests implies regular driving rather than prolonged periods of inactivity, reducing the risk of neglect-related failures such as seized suspension joints or degraded fuel system components. However, the lack of detailed service history means potential wear in less visible areas—such as differential fluid condition or timing belt tensioners—cannot be confirmed without further inspection. Given the clean MOT record, a buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of suspension components, including coil springs, bushes, and shock absorbers, as these are often the first to degrade beyond visual inspection. The absence of advisories does not rule out minor corrosion in wheel arches or subframe areas, particularly if the vehicle has been exposed to salted roads or poor parking conditions. Brake discs and calipers should be checked for uneven wear or binding, especially if the vehicle has been driven in mixed conditions. Additionally, the exhaust system should be examined for leaks or excessive rust, as this is a common failure point in vehicles of this age, even without MOT failures. A pre-purchase inspection by a qualified technician is strongly advised to assess components not covered by the MOT, such as the drivetrain and interior wear.
