2018 Toyota C-HR 1.2L Petrol · EX18 AAO

The 2018 Toyota C-HR has demonstrated a stable roadworthiness profile over its MOT history, with the most recent test on 26 September 2025—just under a year ago—resulting in a clean pass at 64,776 miles. No defects were recorded across any of the five tests, including the unusual double entry in September 2024, where the vehicle failed once before passing on the retest. This suggests the vehicle has not experienced recurring mechanical failures, though the retest implies a minor oversight in the initial inspection. The absence of advisories or repeated faults indicates the previous owner(s) adhered to basic maintenance intervals, though no service records are available to confirm intervals like oil changes or timing belt checks. Mileage accumulation follows a consistent pattern, averaging around 8,000 miles per year—a typical rate for a vehicle of this age. The largest gap between tests is between February 2023 (40,146 miles) and February 2024 (50,311 miles), a span of 12 months with 10,165 miles logged, which aligns with the overall trend. The rapid accumulation between September 2024 (60,456 miles) and September 2025 (64,776 miles) suggests active use, though no failures were recorded during this period. The lack of extended periods of inactivity or unusually high mileage jumps reduces concerns about prolonged neglect of consumables like brakes or suspension. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an in-person inspection of high-wear components not directly tested by the MOT. The suspension—particularly the rear coil springs and bushes—should be examined for uneven wear or corrosion, as these are not routinely checked but can degrade silently over 65,000 miles. Brake pads and discs remain within MOT limits, but binding calipers or uneven wear could indicate past neglect; listen for unusual noises during braking. The exhaust system should be inspected for leaks or excessive corrosion, especially around flanges, while the underbody should be checked for structural rust, particularly around wheel arches and sills. Finally, verify tyre tread depth and condition, as the absence of MOT failures on tyres suggests they may have been replaced recently, but uneven wear could indicate alignment or suspension issues.
