2021 Toyota C-HR 1.8L Hybrid electric (clean) · YR21 CJW

The 2021 Toyota C-HR has maintained a clean MOT history with no defects recorded across all three tests, most recently passing on 10 September 2025—just under a year ago. This suggests a stable maintenance pattern without recurring mechanical issues. The absence of advisories or failings indicates the vehicle has not experienced persistent problems with critical systems such as suspension alignment, binding brakes, or structural corrosion during these inspections. The recorded mileage of 35,665 miles aligns with typical usage for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging around 7,133 miles annually. The most recent MOT test in September 2025 occurred at approximately 30,665 miles, followed by a gap of four months before the May 2024 test at around 26,665 miles. This spacing is slightly irregular but not alarming, as it falls within the standard 12-month MOT cycle. There are no indications of rapid mileage accumulation or prolonged periods of inactivity that would suggest neglect or excessive wear. Given the clean MOT record, the primary focus for an in-person inspection should centre on high-wear items that are not directly tested under MOT but still critical to long-term reliability. The suspension—particularly the condition of coil springs, bushes, and stabiliser links—should be examined for uneven wear or excessive play, as these components are not routinely checked during MOTs. Brake pads and discs, while not failed in past tests, warrant close inspection for uneven wear or signs of overheating, especially if the vehicle has been driven hard. Additionally, the underbody should be scrutinised for corrosion around wheel arches, sills, and the exhaust system, as these areas are prone to deterioration over time despite no recorded MOT failures. Tyres, though not explicitly flagged, should be checked for tread depth and uneven wear patterns, as the absence of MOT defects does not guarantee they have been consistently maintained.
