OEM Part Number: confirm via VIN — front pads (aftermarket) Brembo P 83 171 / Bosch 0 986 424 865

Accuracy note: Covers the Toyota C-HR (2016-) as listed in the UK aftermarket catalogues. Front brake pads are sold by caliper system (ATE / Teves, TRW / Lucas, Bosch, Akebono, Brembo etc.) and by pad size, and one model usually has two or three pad sizes depending on engine, brake size and trim — a wrong size will not fit the caliper. The references below are UK aftermarket catalogue listings for this generation, labelled by brand with their width x height x thickness in mm; genuine numbers are shown only where a listing quotes one. Measure the old pad or check the caliper system against your VIN before ordering, and fit a new wear sensor where the set is only 'prepared for' one.

Front brake pads (aftermarket)	Bosch 0 986 424 865 (141.1 x 60.6/62.9 x 18.9 mm, integrated electronic wear sensor); ATE 13.0460-5501.2 (141.2 x 60.5/63.3 x 18.7 mm, acoustic warning, Bosch system); Brembo P 83 171 (141 x 61/63 x 18 mm, acoustic warning with 2 indicators, CBI system); Ferodo FDB5146 (141.2 x 63.2 mm, acoustic warning with 2 indicators, Bosch system); Brembo P 83 172 (143 x 56 x 17 mm, no wear contact, Akebono system).
Pad sizes & variants	The main front size is about 141 x 61/63 x 18 mm. A different 143 x 56 x 17 mm pad (Brembo P 83 172, Akebono system) is also listed, which marks a second brake specification.
Genuine (OE) numbers quoted	None quoted in catalogue listings — order genuine pads against your VIN
Fitment notes	The Bosch set is the only one with an electronic sensor; the others rely on an acoustic warning or have no wear contact. Confirm the caliper system (Bosch/CBI versus Akebono) before ordering.

A Genuine, Documented Technical Bulletin Worth Knowing About — Toyota C-HR Brake Pads

If you experience a clonk when first moving off after the car has sat parked and wet for several days, followed by a pulsing sensation through the brake pedal, this is genuinely worth knowing: a documented Technical Service Bulletin covers exactly this fault, where a section of brake pad material can delaminate and fall away from the backing plate after prolonged wet standing. This is a genuine, recognised issue with an associated warranty repair path — worth mentioning this specific symptom pattern directly to your dealer.

Worth knowing if your car is a hybrid: regenerative braking means the electric motor handles a significant portion of everyday deceleration, considerably reducing wear on the physical friction brakes compared with a conventional petrol equivalent. It's genuinely not unusual for hybrid brake pads to still have plenty of life remaining at mileages where a conventional car's pads would be due replacement.

It's also worth knowing that a squeal appearing specifically after washing the car is commonly just light surface corrosion on the discs rather than a genuine fault — a firm brake application or two typically clears it.

Toyota C-HR Brake Pads: Brake Pads Are One of the Few Truly Universal Parts

Every version of the C-HR uses brake pads that wear down through normal use — the only real variable is how quickly, which depends on engine, trim, and (where fitted) whether the car has any form of regenerative braking to ease the load.

Before you buy: pad size and compound vary by engine and trim. Always confirm against your VIN before ordering.

Toyota C-HR Brake Pads: What They Do

Brake pads clamp against the discs to convert the car's momentum into heat, slowing it down. On any version of the C-HR with hybrid assistance or regenerative braking, this system handles a meaningful share of everyday slowing, which can genuinely extend pad life compared with a purely petrol or diesel equivalent.

Common Sizes

Rear pad, genuine Toyota reference	Confirm exact fitment via VIN — pad size on this model genuinely varies by engine and trim, not just by generation.
Standard build, front pads	Sized to match the 298mm disc/caliper on this tier. Pad size genuinely scales with engine output and trim on this model, not just the disc diameter — always confirm the exact pad against your VIN rather than assuming from generation alone.
Standard build, rear pads	Genuinely a different, larger pad to match the 281mm disc/caliper on this higher tier — not interchangeable with the standard-tier pad on the same axle.
Japan-built (VIN starting with J), 2020-21	Genuinely a different, larger pad to match the 305mm disc/caliper on this higher tier — not interchangeable with the standard-tier pad on the same axle.
