2022 Toyota C-HR 1.8L Hybrid electric (clean) · RF71 MYB

This Toyota C-HR has recently achieved a clean MOT pass, indicating a resolution to previous minor advisories concerning tyre wear. The latest examination on 2026-08-21 recorded no defects whatsoever, marking an improvement from its earlier tests. Its first MOT in February 2025, and a subsequent test in August 2025, both noted advisories for both nearside and offside front tyres being worn close to the legal limit or on the edge. The absence of these advisories in the most recent test suggests these items have been addressed. The vehicle's recorded mileage of 42,172 miles over approximately four years aligns with an average annual usage of just over 10,500 miles, which is typical for a vehicle of this age. This consistent usage pattern would generally lead to expected wear on consumable components. The MOT history shows a regular pattern of annual testing since its first examination in February 2025, with an additional test conducted in August 2025, prior to its most recent pass. While the latest MOT on 2026-08-21 recorded no defects, the preceding tests in 2025 highlighted both front tyres as being worn close to the legal limit or on the edge. Although these would have been addressed for the vehicle to pass subsequent tests, it is prudent to investigate the underlying cause of such wear. A thorough inspection of the front suspension components, including wishbone bushes, ball joints, and track rod ends, is advisable to check for any play or excessive wear that could contribute to uneven tyre degradation. Additionally, verify the wheel alignment to ensure it is within manufacturer specifications. During a test drive, pay close attention to the steering feel; any pulling to one side, vagueness, or vibration through the steering wheel could indicate alignment issues or worn steering components. Listen for any knocking or clunking noises from the front axle when driving over uneven surfaces or speed bumps, which might signal worn suspension bushes. Given the vehicle's mileage, a general check of brake disc and pad wear, along with the condition of other consumable items, would also be a sensible precaution.
