2019 Toyota C-HR 1.8L Hybrid electric (clean) · GD19 VRU

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 10 August 2026. The overall maintenance trend is largely stable, as the car has consistently passed its annual inspections without major failures. However, there is a noted progression of wear regarding the braking system, specifically the rear discs, which appeared as advisories in both 2024 and 2026. This indicates a gradual decline in component thickness and surface quality that will require attention in the near future. With a recorded mileage of 43,161 miles over approximately seven years, the vehicle has averaged roughly 6,166 miles per annum. This usage rate is considered typical to low for a vehicle of this age, suggesting that the drivetrain and engine have not been subjected to excessive stress. While lower mileage is generally desirable, it can occasionally lead to issues associated with under-use, such as the accumulation of surface corrosion on brake discs or the degradation of rubber components due to age rather than wear. Prospective buyers should pay close attention to the rear braking system during the inspection. The history of pitting, scoring, and subsequent wear on the rear discs suggests they are approaching the end of their operational life. During a test drive, listen for any grinding noises or feel for a slight shudder through the brake pedal under moderate deceleration. It is highly likely that the rear discs and pads will require replacement shortly to ensure optimal stopping performance and to avoid further scoring of the rotors. Additionally, the 2024 advisory regarding uneven tyre wear on the nearside front suggests a potential misalignment of the steering or suspension geometry. Inspect the current tyres for similar edge wear or scrubbing, as this could indicate a need for a four-wheel alignment. Given the vehicle's age, verify the service history to ensure that time-based maintenance, such as brake fluid flushes and coolant changes, has been performed regardless of the low mileage. Finally, check the condition of the 12V battery and inspect the tyre sidewalls for any signs of perishing or hairline cracking.
