2022 Toyota C-HR GR Sport HEV CVT 2.0L Hybrid electric · JM70 ARK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a recent decline in brake component condition. While the car passed its March 2025 test with no recorded defects, the most recent inspection in April 2026 at 22,168 miles flagged both front and rear brake discs as pitted or scored. This indicates that while the components remain safe for operation, the surface integrity of the rotors is beginning to degrade beyond ideal condition. The mileage profile is low for a four-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,500 miles per annum. Between the March 2025 test at 13,186 miles and the April 2026 test at 22,168 miles, the car covered 8,982 miles in just thirteen months. This sudden increase in usage may explain the development of the disc pitting, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer surface corrosion on rotors when left stationary for long periods. A buyer should perform a physical inspection of the braking system to determine if the pitting is surface-level or deep enough to require immediate replacement. Given the tester flagged both axles, it is necessary to check the brake pads for uneven wear and to ensure the calipers are not binding. You should also inspect the suspension bushings and rubber components for signs of cracking, as low-mileage older vehicles can sometimes suffer from material degradation over time rather than mechanical wear.
