2018 TOYOTA C-HR1.8L HYBRID ELECTRIC

The vehicle remains road‑worthy, having passed the most recent MOT on 20 January 2026 at 54,631 miles, but the tester flagged slight damage and cracking on both rear tyres (5.2.3 (d) (ii)). Earlier examinations from 2025 back to 2022 recorded no mechanical defects, indicating a generally stable maintenance record with the exception of emerging tyre wear. Mileage has risen from 35,405 miles in April 2022 to 54,631 miles in January 2026, averaging roughly 6,800 miles per year. The increase of 4,381 miles between April 2022 and May 2023, 5,409 miles to April 2024, 4,581 miles to January 2025 and 3,855 miles to January 2026 shows a consistent, moderate usage pattern. No abrupt spikes suggest excessive short‑term loading; the mileage progression aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. A prospective buyer should give close attention to the rear tyre condition, confirming that the cracking is limited to the tread and that sidewall integrity is intact. Inspect the tyre pressure and look for uneven wear that could indicate mis‑aligned suspension bushes or worn coil springs. Verify brake disc thickness and pad wear, ensuring no binding calipers, as the MOT history contains no brake advisories but the rear tyre issue may mask underlying alignment problems. Examine the windscreen for any residual damage from the 2022 wiper blade defect and confirm that the wiper blades are functional. Finally, scan the chassis for surface corrosion and check under‑body panels for any signs of structural rust, as no structural advisories have been recorded but a thorough visual check remains prudent.
