2020 Toyota C-HR 1.8L Hybrid electric (clean) · SY20 NNC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive component replacement. In the most recent test in April 2026 at 30,963 miles, the tester identified multiple defects including a severely deteriorated offside front anti-roll bar linkage ball joint dust cover and perishing on three different tyres. While the car passed, the emergence of these advisories suggests that rubber-based components are beginning to age prematurely, despite the low overall mileage. The mileage profile is consistently low for a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,160 miles per year. The record shows a clean period between 2023 at 6,402 miles and 2024 at 15,681 miles, where no defects were noted. However, the jump of over 10,000 miles between January 2024 and April 2025 resulted in an offside front tyre being worn to the legal limit, indicating a period of higher usage during that specific interval which has accelerated the wear on consumable-related items. A buyer should conduct a thorough inspection of the tyre set, as the perishing and cracking noted in 2026 suggest the vehicle may have sat stationary for periods, leading to dry rot regardless of tread depth. The anti-roll bar linkage requires immediate checking for play or grease leakage, as the deteriorated dust cover is a precursor to ball joint failure. Given the age of the vehicle, a close inspection of the suspension bushes and brake discs is necessary to ensure that the lack of use has not caused uneven wear or corrosion on the braking surfaces.
