2019 Toyota C-HR 1.8L Hybrid electric · GP19 YON

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance history shows a persistent trend of neglect regarding rear tyre condition. While the most recent test in April 2026 at 40,669 miles passed without failure, the advisory for perishing and cracking rear tyres remains. This specific defect has appeared in three consecutive annual tests back to 2024, indicating that the owner has consistently failed to address rubber degradation caused by age and exposure despite the low overall vehicle mileage. The mileage profile is notably low for a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,800 miles per year. The record shows steady usage patterns between the 2022 test at 11,840 miles and the 2026 test at 40,669 miles. However, the jump of over 7,000 miles between April 2024 and March 2025 suggests a slight increase in annual usage. Such low mileage often leads to dry rot in rubber-based components due to long sitting periods, which aligns with the recurring tyre issues noted in the MOT history. A buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of all tyres for sidewall cracking and flat spots, as the record confirms the rear pair is due for replacement. Because the car has been driven infrequently, the inspector must also check for brake disc corrosion and seized calipers, which frequently occur on vehicles that are not used enough to clear surface rust. There are no records of structural corrosion or suspension-related failures in the provided history, suggesting the core mechanical integrity of the vehicle remains sound despite the oversight in basic consumable maintenance.
