2018 Toyota C-HR 1.8L Hybrid electric (clean) · WJ68 ACO

This Toyota C-HR has maintained a consistently clean MOT history with no defects or advisories recorded across five consecutive tests, most recently passing on 19 August 2025 at 65,365 miles. The absence of any recurring issues—whether minor or major—suggests the vehicle has undergone regular servicing and has not experienced mechanical failures that would warrant repeated MOT failures. The latest test was conducted just under a year ago, which is within the acceptable window for a vehicle of this age, though it would be prudent to verify whether any interim servicing or repairs have been carried out since then. The mileage progression of approximately 8,171 miles per year is typical for a vehicle of this age and usage profile, with no abrupt spikes or prolonged periods of inactivity. Each annual test aligns closely with the 12-month interval, indicating consistent registration and testing without gaps that might suggest neglect or extended periods off-road. The steady accumulation of miles also implies that consumable components like brakes, tyres, and suspension elements have been subject to gradual wear rather than sudden, catastrophic failure. Given the pristine MOT record, the primary focus for an in-person inspection should centre on high-wear items that are not directly tested during the MOT but are critical to long-term reliability. The suspension system—particularly the coil springs, bushes, and dampers—should be examined for uneven sagging, excessive play, or corrosion, as these are common points of failure in vehicles of this age. Brake discs and calipers, while not flagged in previous tests, warrant close scrutiny for uneven wear, binding, or excessive heat discolouration, especially if the vehicle has been driven hard or in stop-start conditions. Additionally, the underbody should be inspected for signs of corrosion around the wheel arches, sills, and subframe, as this is a frequent issue for urban-driven vehicles. Finally, the exhaust system should be checked for leaks or excessive rust, particularly at the rear mounts and catalytic converter, to ensure no silent failures have occurred since the last test.
