2017 Toyota C-HR 1.8L Hybrid electric (clean) · S77 NAU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 2 April 2026 at 83,158 miles. However, the maintenance trend is worsening. While earlier tests were largely clean, the most recent inspection flagged five separate advisories covering brake disc wear, suspension bush degradation, and corrosion on the rear lower suspension arms. This indicates a shift from proactive maintenance to a reactive pattern where components are reaching the end of their service life without being replaced. The mileage is consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging roughly 9,240 miles per year. A notable increase in usage occurred between March 2025 and April 2026, where the odometer rose by 14,883 miles in just over a year. This surge in mileage likely contributed to the accelerated wear on the braking system and suspension components seen in the latest report. A prospective buyer must prioritise a physical inspection of the braking system. The front and rear brake discs were flagged as worn, pitted, or scored in April 2026, and the vehicle previously failed in March 2024 due to an excessively fluctuating service brake and significantly worn offside rear discs. This recurring issue suggests the braking system has not been comprehensively overhauled. The suspension and chassis require close scrutiny. The nearside front suspension arm bush was flagged as worn in March 2024 and reappeared as an advisory in April 2026, proving the fault was never rectified. Furthermore, the report of corrosion on both rear lower suspension arms in the most recent test suggests the onset of structural aging. These combined factors indicate a lack of preventative mechanical care.
