TOYOTA C-HR2018 · 1.8L Hybrid Electric (Clean)

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-05-16 at 48,710 miles recorded a pass with no defects, but this test occurred over 14 months ago, leaving a significant gap in recent roadworthiness data. Previous tests on the same date showed a failure with no defects noted, suggesting potential administrative errors or unrecorded issues. The 2024-05-09 test at 36,349 miles also passed with no defects, while the 2023-05-17 test at 22,714 miles similarly passed. The absence of recorded defects across all tests indicates no critical failures, but the lack of detailed findings limits insight into minor wear or maintenance trends. The mileage progression shows consistent annual usage of approximately 6,000–7,000 miles, aligning with typical patterns for an eight-year-old vehicle. However, the 2023–2025 interval saw a sharp increase from 22,714 to 48,710 miles, a 26,000-mile jump over 24 months, which may indicate accelerated wear on components like brakes, suspension, and tyres. The absence of advisories or defects in these tests does not confirm the vehicle’s condition, as some issues—such as corrosion or gradual mechanical degradation—may not trigger immediate failures. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, which can cause uneven tyre wear or handling issues. The brake system, including calipers and discs, warrants scrutiny for binding or uneven wear, as these often go undetected in MOTs. Corrosion, particularly in the exhaust system or underbody, should be checked, as it can compromise structural integrity. The lack of detailed MOT findings means a physical inspection is critical to identify hidden faults not captured in the record.
