2021 Toyota C-HR 1.8L Hybrid electric (clean) · CK71 HGY

A recurring pattern of tyre degradation and uneven wear defines the roadworthiness record of this vehicle, despite a consistent history of passing its inspections. The latest test on 10 September 2026 noted perishing and damage to the nearside rear tyre along with low tread on the edge of the nearside front, mirroring a previous advisory for the offside front tyre in September 2024. While the 2025 test was clear, the return of these issues indicates a persistent trend regarding tyre condition and wear patterns. The recorded mileage of 35,243 miles over approximately five years represents an average annual accumulation of roughly 7,049 miles. This usage profile is typical for a vehicle of this age, suggesting a balanced load on the drivetrain and suspension components. Mechanically, this level of use typically means that primary wear items are entering their mid-life cycle, though it does not exempt the vehicle from the specific tyre wear issues identified in the testing history. Attention must be paid to the tyre condition and wheel alignment, as the repeated advisories for edge wear on both the nearside and offside front tyres suggest potential tracking issues. During a test drive, the buyer should monitor for any steering pull to one side or an off-centre steering wheel when travelling in a straight line. Any unusual vibration through the steering column at motorway speeds should also be noted, as this can correlate with the tyre damage and perishing flagged in the most recent inspection. A physical inspection of the tyre treads is necessary to confirm the extent of the edge wear and the degree of perishing on the nearside rear tyre. Beyond the tyres, the absence of structural corrosion or suspension failures in the MOT history is a recorded fact of the vehicle's testing trajectory. The buyer should ensure that the current tyre set is replaced or rectified to resolve the outstanding advisories to ensure the vehicle meets the required safety standards.
