2018 Toyota C-HR 1.8L Hybrid electric · CV18 AFF

The vehicle shows a stable roadworthiness profile with a recent pass on 23 April 2026 at 87,680 miles. While the most recent test flagged a damaged offside front track rod end ball joint dust cover, the tester noted it was not yet preventing dirt ingress. This minor advisory indicates the beginning of wear in the steering linkage, but the overall history suggests a well-maintained vehicle. The period between October 2025 and April 2026 shows a clean pass in April followed by a minor steering component advisory in April 2026, suggesting that mechanical issues are currently limited to minor consumable wear rather than systemic failures. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a typical usage pattern for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 11,000 miles per year. The records show steady progression from 50,057 miles in February 2021 to the current 87,680 miles. There are no significant gaps in testing or unexplained surges in mileage that would suggest long periods of inactivity or heavy commercial use. The data is robust, with regular six-month intervals between tests appearing frequently, which implies the previous owners adhered to a consistent inspection schedule. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front suspension and steering components. The April 2026 advisory regarding the track rod end dust cover warrants a check for any play in the steering or unusual noises when turning the wheel. Although the October 2025 failure for inoperative registration and reversing lamps was resolved quickly, it is worth verifying that all exterior lighting and electrical connections remain functional. The 2022 failure regarding an incorrectly fitted tyre suggests a previous lapse in basic maintenance, so a thorough check of the current tyre brands and tread depths across all four wheels is advisable to ensure they meet legal standards and are matched correctly.
