2017 Toyota C-HR 1.2L Petrol · YW17 AAX

The 2025‑12‑04 MOT at 56,883 miles confirms the 2017 Toyota C‑HR remains roadworthy, though the test record shows a modest increase in minor faults compared with earlier clean certificates. The progression from a defect‑free 2024 test to the 2025 result, where near‑side and off‑side rear suspension mounting points exhibited corrosion and front brake discs showed wear, indicates a gradual emergence of issues rather than a sudden decline. Mileage has risen from 22,315 miles in June 2020 to 56,883 miles in December 2025, averaging about 6,300 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a nine‑year‑old vehicle. The interval between the July 2024 and January 2025 tests spans roughly six months and adds 1,955 miles, while the subsequent ten‑month gap to the December 2025 test records a 7,220‑mile increase, suggesting periods of intensified use followed by relative inactivity. Recurring observations include corrosion at the rear suspension mounting points (5.3.6 (a) (i)) on both sides, worn front brake discs (1.1.14 (a) (i)) and worn suspension arm pins or bushes (5.3.4 (a) (i)) on both front corners, and tyre edge wear or perishing noted in 2023 and 2022 (5.2.3 (d) (ii) and 5.2.3 (e)). These items represent structural and mechanical concerns that merit focused inspection. A buyer should therefore examine the rear suspension mounting areas for excessive rust, measure front brake disc thickness against manufacturer limits, check for play in the front suspension arm pins and bushes, assess tyre tread depth and sidewall condition, and verify that no structural corrosion compromises chassis integrity; any binding in the brakes or abnormal suspension movement would indicate the need for immediate remedial work.
