2021 Toyota C-HR 1.8L Hybrid electric · SC21 MXJ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a trend of reactive rather than proactive upkeep. While the most recent test on January 2026 at 53,316 miles resulted in a pass, it followed a failure just ten days prior. The transition from a clean record in early 2024 to multiple failures in 2026 suggests that the owner only addresses mechanical issues when necessitated by the MOT tester rather than performing routine preventative maintenance. The mileage pattern is consistent with a typical annual-use vehicle, averaging approximately 10,600 miles per year. Between January 2024 at 39,358 miles and January 2025 at 45,922 miles, the car covered 6,564 miles, followed by a more intensive period of 7,394 miles leading into the January 2026 test. This slight increase in usage over the final year explains the accelerated wear on consumable components noted in the latest inspection reports. A buyer should focus specifically on the braking system during a physical inspection. The record shows recurring thinning of brake pads on the rear axle across both the 2025 and 2026 tests, with the nearside rear specifically flagged as thin in the most recent failure. This persistent issue may indicate a sticking caliper or uneven wear pattern that requires a professional mechanical check. Furthermore, the 2026 failure for front tyre tread depth and edge wear on the nearside suggests potential alignment issues or suspension bushing wear, which should be verified to prevent premature replacement of new tyres.
