2017 Toyota C-HR 1.8L Hybrid electric · CK67 GUD

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a clear shift towards mechanical wear as the car ages. While the most recent test in November 2025 at 61,048 miles identified wear on both front suspension arm bushes and pitted rear brake discs, these issues did not result in a failure. The transition from a clean record in 2022 to multiple advisories since indicates that components are now reaching the end of their optimal service life. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use vehicle, averaging approximately 6,800 miles per year. The data shows steady progression from 28,121 miles in October 2021 to 61,048 miles in late 2025. This low annual mileage suggests that the drivetrain and engine have faced minimal stress, though it also explains the corrosion and pitting found on the brake components noted in the 2024 and 2025 tests, as infrequent use fails to generate sufficient heat to clear surface rust on the discs. A buyer should prioritize a physical inspection of the braking system and front suspension geometry. The recurring reports of pitting and scoring on the brake discs across 2023, 2024, and 2025 suggest the rear rotors likely require replacement to ensure consistent performance. Furthermore, the worn nearside and offside front arm bushes flagged in November 2025 should be checked for play, which could affect steering precision and cause tyre wear. The historical wear noted on the offside front tyre in 2023 also suggests a potential alignment issue that should be verified to prevent premature degradation of new rubber.
