TOYOTA C-HR2018 · 1.8L HYBRID ELECTRIC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the recent MOT history indicates a shift toward reactive rather than proactive maintenance. The most recent test on January 2026 at 47,893 miles resulted in a failure due to an offside headlamp malfunction and two worn front tyres. While the vehicle passed immediately upon rectification, the presence of tyres worn to the legal limit on the edges suggests that the previous owner waited until an MOT failure or a visible defect before addressing essential consumable items. At eight years old, the recorded mileage of 47,893 miles represents a low usage profile of approximately 6,000 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with roughly 5,500 miles driven between the 2023 and 2024 tests, and another 7,000 miles between January 2024 and January 2025. This low mileage generally implies less strain on the drivetrain and suspension components, though the 2025 advisory regarding perishing and cracking on the rear tyres indicates that the rubber compounds may be suffering from age- or long periods of sitting stationary despite the low distance covered. A buyer should personally inspect the front tyres for alignment issues, as the recurring edge-wear noted in January 2026 often points to incorrect geometry or worn suspension bushes. The condition of the rear tyres requires close scrutiny to ensure the cracking noted in 2025 has not progressed into structural sidewall failure. While no significant structural corrosion or brake system failures have appeared in the record, the headlamp failure suggests a basic check of the electrical system and bulb seating is necessary to ensure no intermittent faults exist in the lighting assembly.
