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

The vehicle is currently roadworthy having passed its latest inspection in February 2026 at 55,855 miles. The maintenance trend shows a pattern of reactive repairs rather than proactive prevention. The car failed just one mile before its recent test due to minor but essential faults including defective wiper blades and an unsecured bonnet, though these issues were rectified immediately to secure a pass. This indicates that the owner is willing to address safety-critical defects once they are flagged by a tester. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a typical annual-use profile, averaging approximately 11,000 miles per year. Between the February 2024 test at 46,215 miles and the February 2025 test at 50,620 miles, the vehicle covered 4,405 miles. This steady usage suggests regular mechanical operation rather than long periods of stagnation which can often lead to the degradation of rubber components and brake seals. A buyer should pay close attention to the braking system, as the 2025 record flagged the offside front brake disc as worn and pitted. While this passed the subsequent test, the presence of surface corrosion or wear suggests the discs may be nearing the end of their functional life. The recurring TPMS active light noted in both the 2025 and 2026 tests indicates a persistent sensor fault or pressure imbalance issue that remains unresolved by standard MOT inspections. Physical inspection of the bonnet latch mechanism and wiper assembly is also necessary to ensure the previous failure points were properly repaired and not merely masked.
