2019 Toyota C-HR 1.8L Hybrid electric · PN69 UBZ

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a slight worsening regarding mechanical wear and rubber components. While the most recent test in July 2025 at 29,943 miles passed, the tester flagged a worn offside front suspension arm bush and perishing rubber on both rear tyres. This represents a progression from the 2024 test which only noted a defective wiper blade, indicating that components are now beginning to degrade despite the low mileage. At seven years old, the recorded mileage of 29,943 miles is significantly low, averaging approximately 4,278 miles per year. This low usage pattern explains the tyre perishing noted in the July 2025 test, as rubber compounds often degrade through age and oxidation rather than distance driven. However, the vehicle covered roughly 15,000 miles between August 2022 and July 2025, suggesting consistent but low-intensity use which can sometimes lead to flat spotting or brake corrosion if the car sits stationary for long intervals. A buyer should physically inspect the offside front suspension arm to ensure the bush has not developed excessive play which would affect steering precision. The perishing and cracking on the rear tyres suggest they are reaching the end of their structural life and require replacement regardless of remaining tread depth. Additionally, check the brake discs for surface rust or pitting, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from oxid if the braking system is not used frequently enough to clear the metal surfaces.
