2018 Toyota C-HR 1.8L Hybrid electric (clean) · EG18 CFY

The most recent MOT test conducted on 29 September 2025 resulted in a pass with no recorded defects. Looking at the broader historical data from 2022 onwards, the maintenance trend is remarkably stable and consistent. The vehicle has maintained a clean sheet throughout its recent testing history, showing no evidence of recurring failures or persistent advisories. This suggests a high standard of upkeep or a vehicle that has been operated under benign conditions, presenting a low immediate risk of structural or mechanical failure related to MOT compliance. With a recorded mileage of 61,291 miles against an eight-year age profile, the vehicle has averaged approximately 7,661 miles per year. This represents a typical and moderate usage pattern for a modern hatchback. This level of mileage is ideal as it avoids the excessive mechanical wear on the drivetrain, suspension, and braking systems associated with high-mileage vehicles, while also avoiding the potential issues of component seizure or fluid degradation often found in very low-mileage vehicles that have sat idle for extended periods. The mileage accumulation appears steady and proportionate to the vehicle's age. Because the MOT history is entirely devoid of defects or advisories, the inspection should focus on age-related degradation rather than wear-induced failures. You should pay close attention to the condition of the tyres, specifically checking the sidewalls for signs of perishing or fine cracking, which can occur as rubber ages regardless of tread depth. Furthermore, examine the suspension bushes and various rubber seals for signs of hardening or splitting. On a test drive, listen carefully for any dull clunks from the suspension when traversing uneven surfaces, which could indicate that the bushes are beginning to perish. It is also essential to verify the service history to ensure that maintenance has been conducted on a regular calendar basis, as fluids such as brake fluid and engine oil can degrade over time even if mileage remains low. Inspect the brake discs for any significant corrosion or pitting, and check for any signs of binding calipers which can occur if the vehicle has been used for short, low-speed journeys. Finally, evaluate the 12V battery health and ensure that all electrical components are functioning correctly, as age-related electrical resistance can sometimes manifest in older vehicles.
