2019 Toyota C-HR 1.8L Hybrid electric · KY69 WWM

The 2019 Toyota C-HR presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass on 17 February 2026 at 25,318 miles with zero defects recorded. The previous test on 4 August 2025 at 24,093 miles flagged perished or cracking tyres on all four corners, a defect category that typically arises from age-related rubber degradation rather than high-mileage wear. The subsequent clean result suggests those tyres were replaced, indicating the owner addressed the advisory promptly. No recurring mechanical, structural, or braking defects appear across the five-test history, which is a strong indicator of consistent upkeep. The mileage profile tells a clear story of exceptionally low use. Covering just 9,623 miles between August 2022 and February 2026, the vehicle averaged roughly 2,750 miles per year over that period. The jump from 24,093 to 25,318 miles between August 2025 and February 2026 represents 1,225 miles in six months, a modest uptick but still well within normal parameters for a seven-year-old car. There are no suspicious gaps or sudden spikes in the odometer record that would suggest tampering or long-term storage neglect, though the low annual mileage means components like tyres and rubber bushes may have aged through calendar time rather than use. A buyer inspecting this C-HR in person should pay close attention to the condition of the tyre sidewalls and date stamps, given the perishing flagged just six months before the most recent test. Even with fresh rubber fitted, low-mileage vehicles that sit for extended periods can develop flat spots, sidewall cracking, and degraded seals. The suspension bushes, coil springs, and anti-roll bar links deserve a thorough check, as infrequent use can cause rubber components to dry and perish without the flexing that keeps them supple. Brake discs and calipers should also be examined for surface corrosion, which is common on lightly driven vehicles and can cause binding or uneven pad wear despite the absence of any recorded defect. The exhaust system and underbody should be inspected for corrosion, particularly around mounting points and heat shields, as short trips can accelerate internal condensation buildup. Overall, the MOT record is reassuring, but the low-mileage pattern demands a careful physical inspection focused on age-related deterioration rather than wear.
