2019 Toyota C-HR 1.8L Hybrid electric · EF68 CFK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history shows a worsening trend regarding reactive repairs. While it passed its most recent test in February 2026 at 52,199 miles, this followed a significant failure just one mile prior. The transition from a clean record in 2024 to multiple failure-related items involving lighting, wipers, and tyre pressure monitoring systems suggests that the previous owner was only addressing defects when necessitated by the MOT test rather than performing routine preventative maintenance. At 52,199 miles over seven years, the C-HR averages approximately 7,450 miles per year, which is consistent with low-to-moderate usage. The mileage data shows a steady progression, with roughly 9,000 miles covered between August 2024 and August 2025, and another 3,400 miles in the following six months. This consistent use pattern suggests the mechanical components have not been subjected to excessive strain, though the frequency of recent failures indicates a lack of attention to basic electrical and consumable items. A buyer should focus specifically on the electrical system and lighting components during a physical inspection. Recurring issues with headlamps, registration plate lamps, and the tyre pressure monitoring system indicate potential intermittent wiring faults or poor quality bulb replacements that remain partially addressed. The failure of the nearside front suspension arm ball joint dust cover in 2025 also warrants a close check of the front suspension to ensure no moisture ingress has caused premature wear to the ball joints. Furthermore, the February 2026 advisory regarding the nearside rear tyre worn to the legal limit with perished rubber suggests that tyre management has been neglected. The reported failure of the offside reverse light should also be verified, as it was flagged in the most recent failure but not explicitly confirmed as resolved in the subsequent pass notes.
