2019 Toyota C-HR 1.8L Hybrid electric · RO19 BAN

This 2019 Toyota C-HR has demonstrated a stable roadworthiness profile over its MOT history, with the most recent test on 4 February 2026 at 67,352 miles confirming no defects. The vehicle’s clean pass in February 2026, following another clean pass in November 2024, suggests consistent compliance with MOT standards for major systems. The only notable issue in the March 2023 test—rear brake pads wearing thin—was addressed without recurrence, indicating either replacement or sufficient wear reserve since then. The absence of advisories or repeated faults in critical areas like suspension bushes, coil springs, or binding calipers reinforces that structural integrity has not been compromised. However, the 2023 test’s minor faults—near-side front tyre cut, defective wiper blade, and TPMS lamp—highlight areas requiring periodic attention, though these are easily remedied and unlikely to pose immediate risk. The mileage progression of roughly 9,600 miles per year aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, without extreme gaps or rapid accumulation that might suggest neglect or heavy duty. The largest interval between tests was between March 2023 (40,738 miles) and March 2022 (31,853 miles), covering 12 months and 8,885 miles—a reasonable serviceable period. There is no evidence of extended periods where the vehicle may have stood unused, nor does the mileage suggest aggressive driving that would accelerate wear beyond expected norms. The consistency in passing without defects between 2022 and 2026 further supports that the vehicle has been maintained at a level commensurate with its age and mileage. A prospective buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of the brakes , particularly the rear pads and discs, given their flagged wear in 2023. While no further issues were recorded, the 1.1mm thickness at that point suggests they may now be approaching the minimum safe reserve, and uneven wear could indicate alignment or caliper binding. The tyres warrant close scrutiny, especially the near-side front, which had a cut in 2023. Any new damage or uneven tread depth would necessitate replacement, as would signs of substandard mixing or age-related degradation. The windscreen wiper blades are consumables that should be replaced if torn or streaking, though this is a minor, easily corrected item. Less obvious but critical areas include the suspension bushes and coil springs , which—while not explicitly mentioned—should be checked for cracking, perished rubber, or excessive play, as these components degrade predictably over 7 years and 67,000 miles. Finally, the exhaust emissions system and under-tray integrity should be inspected for corrosion or leaks, as these are not always visible without a detailed lift inspection.
