2018 Toyota C-HR 1.8L Hybrid electric · SG68 PDK

The most recent MOT on 2025-12-16 recorded three tyres worn close to the legal limit and showing edge wear, all on the front and rear nearside and offside. This mirrors identical findings in the 2024-12-11 MOT, where rear brake pads were also noted as thin. The 2023-08-17 MOT included failed headlamp aim issues and brake disc wear, though subsequent checks showed no further brake-related defects until the 2025 test. Recurring tyre wear suggests consistent use or potential alignment issues, as tyres near the legal limit require immediate replacement. Brake disc wear in 2023-08-17 was not repeated in later MOTs, but thin rear brake pads in 2024-12-11 and tyre edge wear in 2025-12-16 indicate ongoing maintenance needs. The pattern shows no clear worsening, but persistent tyre issues highlight a risk of sudden failure if not addressed. The vehicle’s mileage of 80,316 miles over 8 years aligns with average annual usage (10,040 miles), suggesting no extreme under-use or heavy wear. However, the lack of significant defects in 2024-01-11 (47,989 miles) contrasts with later issues, implying possible intermittent maintenance or gradual component degradation. A buyer should prioritise inspecting tyre tread depth and condition, brake disc and pad wear, and headlamp alignment. Checking for uneven tyre wear could reveal suspension or alignment problems.
