2018 Toyota C-HR 1.8L Hybrid electric · FE68 YKC

The 2018 Toyota C-HR presents a stable and largely positive mechanical trend, with the most recent MOT on 15 September 2025 at 58,582 miles passing with only minor advisories. The tester flagged an offside front tyre worn around the inner edge, a nearside rear tyre showing cracking or perishing on the outer sidewall, and a slightly corroded offside rear brake disc. These are low-severity items. The tyre wear pattern, particularly the inner edge wear on the front, hints at possible misalignment or suspension bush degradation rather than simple neglect. The corrosion on the rear disc is a common surface condition on lightly used vehicles and does not indicate a serious fault today, though it warrants monitoring. Overall, the record suggests a car that has been kept in reasonable order with no structural or major mechanical failures across its five-year documented history. The mileage progression is consistent and unremarkable. The car covered 6,070 miles between the 2022 test at 33,377 miles and the 2023 test at 39,447 miles, then 10,211 miles between 2023 and 2024 at 49,658 miles, followed by 8,924 miles between 2024 and 2025 at 58,582 miles. This averages roughly 7,300 miles per year, which is typical for its age and suggests regular use rather than long periods of inactivity. The MOT record is complete from 2022 onward with no gaps, and the 2024 failure was a trivial wiper blade issue rectified on the same day. There are no alarming jumps or inconsistencies in the data. A buyer inspecting this C-HR in person should focus on the front suspension geometry. The inner edge tyre wear noted in September 2025 could point to toe misalignment or worn track rod ends and suspension bushes. Have the front end checked on a four-wheel alignment rig. The perished nearside rear tyre sidewall is a safety concern and that tyre should be replaced before purchase regardless of remaining tread depth. Inspect the offside rear brake disc for pitting beyond surface corrosion and check the caliper slides for free movement, as the advisory suggests moisture exposure. Beyond these flagged items, examine the underside for structural corrosion, particularly around subframes and suspension mounting points, and verify that the exhaust emissions remain compliant under cold-start conditions given the relatively low annual mileage, which can promote carbon buildup and DPF issues in diesel variants.
