2018 Toyota C-HR 1.8L Hybrid electric (clean) · SB10 AAB

The most recent MOT test conducted on 7 May 2026 resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. When reviewing the vehicle history, there was a period of noted wear between 2024 and 2025 involving tyres, braking components, and suspension corrosion. However, the transition to a completely clean certificate in the latest test suggests that these maintenance items have been addressed. The overall maintenance trend is currently stable and improving, indicating that the vehicle has been brought back up to a high standard of roadworthiness. The recorded mileage of 49,904 miles over approximately eight years represents an average annual usage of roughly 6,238 miles. This is considered moderate to low for a vehicle of this age, which generally implies less wear on the internal engine components and the drivetrain. While low mileage is often desirable, it can occasionally mask issues related to vehicle standing, such as the degradation of rubber components or the accumulation of surface corrosion on exposed metal parts. Prospective buyers should pay close attention to the tyre history, as the 2024 and 2025 records indicated uneven wear on the inner edges and nearside. This pattern often suggests a misalignment of the wheel geometry or worn suspension bushes. During a test drive, the buyer should listen for any clunking or knocking sounds over uneven surfaces and visually inspect the current tyres for any remaining signs of irregular wear. Additionally, the 2025 advisory regarding pitted and scored front brake discs should be investigated. While the latest MOT is clean, the buyer should confirm whether the discs were replaced or merely cleaned, as pitting can lead to brake shudder or reduced pedal feel. Finally, the 2024 advisories regarding corrosion on the rear suspension arms warrant a physical inspection. While slight corrosion is common in the UK climate, it is important to ensure that the oxidation remains superficial and has not compromised the structural integrity of the arms. Given the low annual mileage, the buyer must verify the service book to ensure that time-based maintenance, such as brake fluid replacement and oil changes, has been performed according to the manufacturer's calendar intervals rather than mileage alone. A check of the 12V battery health is also recommended to ensure it has not been degraded by infrequent use.
