2019 Toyota C-HR 1.8L Hybrid electric · FL69 OUF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach. The most recent test on November 28, 2025 at 68,232 miles saw a failure due to a deep cut in the nearside rear tyre and uneven wear on the offside front. While the vehicle passed immediately upon retest, the recurrence of tyre issues across multiple years suggests that components are only addressed once they reach the point of failure or legal limit. At 68,232 miles over seven years, the car averages approximately 9,750 miles per year, which is consistent with typical UK usage for its age. There is a significant gap in recorded data between the September 2023 test at 39,345 miles and the December 2024 test at 52,466 miles, representing over 13,000 miles driven in 15 months. This burst of mileage correlates with the appearance of multiple wear on the suspension and braking system noted during the late 2024 inspection. A prospective buyer must inspect the front suspension closely, as the 2024 record flagged worn rear bushes on both the nearside and offside lower suspension arms. Although these did not cause a failure at that time, rubber bushings degrade and can affect handling and cause tyre wear. The rear braking system also showed signs of pitted discs and thin pads in late 2024, requiring physical verification that these parts were actually replaced rather than simply allowed to continue thinning. The uneven inner wear noted on the offside front tyre in the November 2025 test indicates a potential alignment issue or worn shock absorber. The buyer should request a recent geometry check to prevent further damage to new tyres. Additionally, the malfunction of the tyre pressure monitoring system reported in 2024 should be verified to ensure the sensor or module is functional, as this remains a common point of failure on this model if ignored.
