2017 Toyota C-HR 1.8L Hybrid electric · FL67 UNP

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT in February 2026. However, the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive repairs after several years of clean records. The failure in February 2026 at 71,490 miles highlighted thin-out rear brake pads and an excessively worn offside front suspension arm bush. These issues were rectified for the subsequent pass, indicating that components are now reaching the end of their service life simultaneously. The mileage pattern is consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,000 miles per year. The record shows steady progression from 30,737 miles in March 2023 to 58,060 miles in February 2025, and finally to 71,491 miles in early 2026. This regular usage suggests the car has been used for standard daily commuting rather rather than being subjected to long periods of standing, which can often lead to accelerated degradation of rubber components and brake seals. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the offside front suspension to ensure the replacement bush or arm was fitted correctly and that no further play exists. Given the thin rear brake pads flagged in the last test, the remaining life of the rear discs should be checked for uneven wear or heat scoring. The previous note regarding items removed from the driver's view in 2024 warrants a quick check of the dashboard and windscreen area to ensure no obstructions remain that affect visibility.
