2021 Toyota C-HR 2.0L Hybrid electric · GC21 PZR

The vehicle remains currently roadworthy, though the most recent inspection indicates a shift toward reactive rather than proactive maintenance. While it passed its February 2026 test at 59,017 miles, the tester flagged multiple advisories regarding tyre condition that were absent in previous years. This suggests a worsening trend where consumable components are being ignored until they approach legal limits or show visible signs of degradation, rather than being replaced during scheduled service intervals. The mileage progression is consistent with a typical modern-car usage profile, averaging approximately 11,800 miles per annum. The record shows a steady increase of 6,394 miles between June 2024 and March 2025, followed by a more significant jump of 14,162 miles in the eleven months leading up to the February 2026 test. This recent spike in usage over double the annual average likely explains the accelerated wear on the tyres and the specific edge wear on the front tyres noted in the latest MOT result. A physical inspection should focus specifically on the tyre set, as the advisories for edge-wear on both front tyres and a perished nearside rear tyre indicate potential alignment issues or age-related rubber hardening. The buyer must verify if these tyres have been replaced since the February test, as the uneven wear suggests the suspension geometry or tracking require adjustment. Since no mechanical defects were recorded in the 2024 or 2025 tests, the structural integrity and braking system appear stable, but the recent attention to consumables warrants a close look at the brake pad thickness and suspension components for signs of accelerated wear.
