2017 Toyota C-HR 1.2L Petrol · GR66 ACE

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a trend of deferred attention regarding wear-and-tear components. The most recent test in March 2026 at 77,477 miles flagged significant wear on the front lower suspension arm bushes and perishing rear bushes on both sides. While the vehicle passed, these advisories suggest that the suspension geometry is reaching the end of its functional life, marking a shift from minor consumable issues to structural mechanical wear. At 77,477 miles over nine years, the car averages approximately 8,600 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK usage patterns for a modern hatchback. The mileage accumulation is consistent, with roughly 13,000 miles driven between the March 2024 and 2025 tests, and another 8,200 miles between March 2025 and March 2026. This regularity suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of inactivity, which often leads to accelerated degradation of rubber components and brake seals. A buyer should conduct a close physical inspection of the suspension assembly, as the recurring issues with perishing bushes indicate worn rubberwork. The record shows a history of poor tyre management, with the 2024 test flagging four tyres for edge wear, damage, or cracking, following similar advisories in 2022. Furthermore, the braking system has required attention, with thin rear pads noted in 2025 and worn front discs back in 2022. You must verify that the rear bushes have been replaced recently and that the brake calipers are not binding or showing uneven wear patterns.
