2021 Toyota C-HR GR Sport HEV CVT 2.0L Hybrid electric · GP71 CFZ

This vehicle demonstrates a consistent track record of roadworthiness, characterized by a clean mechanical history with only minor, non-structural issues surfacing over the last three years. While the 2025 inspection required remedial work for an inoperative reversing lamp and an ineffective offside windscreen wiper, the car has since maintained a stable profile, most recently securing a pass on 9 June 2026. The absence of recurring failures or structural advisories regarding corrosion or suspension components suggests that the primary mechanical systems have remained within acceptable operational parameters throughout its service life. The recorded mileage of 40,349 miles over approximately five years represents a steady annual accumulation of roughly 8,070 miles, which aligns with typical UK usage patterns for a hybrid vehicle of this age. This moderate mileage profile suggests the drivetrain and hybrid components have not been subjected to excessive high-speed motorway wear, nor have they suffered from the potential degradation associated with extremely low-use vehicles that sit idle for extended periods. From a mechanical standpoint, this level of usage implies that consumable items such as brake pads, discs, and suspension bushes should still be in a relatively healthy state, though they will naturally be approaching mid-life wear stages. Prospective buyers should pay specific attention to the offside front tyre, which was flagged with a nail advisory during the June 2026 test. While this is a minor issue, it is essential to verify that the tyre has been professionally repaired or replaced and that the puncture has not caused uneven tread wear or a structural weakness in the sidewall. During a test drive, listen for any rhythmic thumping or vibrations through the steering wheel at varying speeds, which could indicate a bulge or an improperly seated repair within the tyre carcass. Beyond the tyre advisory, the vehicle's history shows no recorded issues with the braking system, exhaust emissions, or structural integrity. Given the hybrid nature of the C-HR, the lack of recorded failures in the electrical or cooling systems is a positive indicator. However, because the 2025 failure involved a windscreen wiper, it is prudent to test the wiper sweep and the washer jet spray thoroughly to ensure the mechanism is fully functional and provides clear visibility. Ensure the reversing lamp is operational and that there is no delay or hesitation when engaging reverse gear, confirming that the electrical and transmission interfaces are performing as expected.
