2021 Toyota C-HR 1.8L Hybrid electric · SV70 XGZ

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthiness verdict of Pass, but the maintenance record indicates a clear trend of worsening condition. The most recent test recorded on 2025-12-18 at 48,798 miles was passed, confirming that the mechanical integrity of the car remains sound at this point in time. However, the history of the MOT is not static; it reveals a significant deterioration in the suspension and braking systems that has persisted for over a decade. The first major failure occurred on 2025-06-14 at 44,276 miles, which was a failure of the front suspension arm pin and bush, specifically the lower arm back bush, and was accompanied by a nearside rear tyre that was damaged or perishing. This indicates that the car has been in the UK market for approximately 13 years and that the structural components of the suspension have degraded beyond acceptable limits, a pattern that would likely continue into the future. The mileage accumulation relative to the vehicle's age is marked by a notable gap in the test history. The vehicle was recorded at 48,798 miles on 2025-12-18, but the most recent MOT entry on 2025-11-26 was recorded at 48,084 miles, creating a 711-mile gap between the two most recent tests. This gap suggests that the car has experienced significant wear or loss of value since the 2025-11-26 test, likely due to accumulated road wear or usage patterns. The fact that the first MOT was passed at 48,084 miles while the second was not, but the third was passed at 44,321 miles, shows that the car has been in the UK for 13 years and that the maintenance history is not clean; rather, it reflects a period of increasing wear and a lack of consistent upkeep. In summary, the vehicle is currently Pass, but its history is dominated by a severe suspension and braking issue that has not been corrected. The buyer must inspect the car personally to verify the condition of the lower arm back bush, the front suspension arm pin, the rear tyre, and the brake discs. Given the 13-year history and the persistent faults, the car is likely to continue to require regular servicing, including potential replacement of the suspension bush and brake components, as the structural integrity of the vehicle has deteriorated.
