2019 Toyota C-HR 1.8L Hybrid electric (clean) · CT19 KXM

High annual mileage and recurring wear on consumables define the mechanical profile of this vehicle, which has covered 114,617 miles since its manufacture. While the most recent test on 12 August 2026 resulted in a pass with no defects, the history shows a pattern of recurring issues regarding tyre wear and suspension component deterioration. The record indicates a trend of addressing consumable wear, such as the front tyres which were flagged as being close to the legal limit in both early 2024 and early 2026, suggesting a cycle of heavy usage followed by replacement. The vehicle has averaged approximately 16,374 miles per year, which is significantly higher than the typical UK average for a petrol or hybrid crossover of this age. This consistent, high-volume usage profile implies that the drivetrain and chassis components have been subjected to more frequent cycles of heat, friction, and mechanical stress than a lower-mileage equivalent. Such a pattern often results in more accelerated wear on suspension bushes, ball joints, and braking systems, which is reflected in the specific minor defects and advisories recorded throughout the MOT history. Prospective buyers should pay close attention to the front suspension assembly during a test drive. The 2025 record noted severely deteriorated dust covers on both the offside front upper anti-roll bar linkage and the lower suspension arm ball joint. While these were recorded as minor defects, the high mileage increases the likelihood of play within these joints. Listen for any rhythmic knocking, clunking, or creaking sounds when navigating uneven road surfaces or turning the steering wheel at low speeds, as these symptoms often indicate worn ball joints or deteriorated suspension bushings. Braking and tyre management also require scrutiny. The 2023 advisory regarding pitted or scored rear brake discs, combined with the recurring advisories for front tyre wear on the edges, suggests a need to inspect the current state of the braking system and wheel alignment. During the test drive, check for any pedal judder or vibration under braking, which could indicate uneven disc wear, and observe if the vehicle pulls to either side on straight roads, which might point to the alignment issues that previously caused edge wear on the tyres.
