2019 Toyota C-HR 1.8L Hybrid electric · YG19 MTT

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a trend of increasing mechanical wear as the mileage climbs. The most recent test conducted in May 2026 at 94,894 miles identified a worn nearside front suspension arm pin or bush. While this did not result in a failure, it marks the beginning of visible component-related degradation that followed a period of clean MOT records in the vehicle's earlier life. The mileage pattern shows a significant acceleration in usage over the last three years. Between May 2022 and May 2023, the car covered only 18,627 miles, suggesting relatively light use. However, the mileage surged by 17,366 miles in the following year and another 19,185 miles before the 2025 test, averaging over 13,500 miles per annum. This high-intensity use explains the transition from a defect-free record to the consistent flagging of worn consumables and suspension components. A buyer should prioritise the braking system and front suspension during a physical inspection. The 2025 test at 78,409 miles flagged both front and rear brake discs as being worn, pitted, or scored, which suggests the vehicle may have operated with neglected brake service intervals. Furthermore, the worn front tyres noted in 2024 and the current suspension bush issue in 2026 indicate that preventative maintenance of wear items has been reactive rather than proactive. Checking for play in the front suspension bushings and verifying the thickness of the brake pads is essential to ensure the wear has not progressed beyond immediate repair..
