2018 Toyota C-HR 1.8L Hybrid electric (clean) · SL68 XNO

The 2018 Toyota C-HR presents an exceptional MOT record with five consecutive passes and zero defects across all tests. The most recent examination on 20 March 2025 at 24,844 miles returned a completely clean result with no advisories, indicating the vehicle has been consistently well-maintained and presents no current mechanical or structural concerns from a roadworthiness standpoint. The mileage pattern reveals notably low annual usage of approximately 3,106 miles per year, well below the UK average. Between the October 2021 test at 4,944 miles and the April 2022 test at 5,220 miles, only 276 miles were covered in roughly six months, suggesting a period of very light use or possible standing. The annual increments then stabilise to approximately 5,400-5,900 miles per year through 2024, before a sharp drop to just 5,966 miles over the full twelve months leading to the March 2025 test. This deceleration in recent usage is worth noting, as prolonged periods of short journeys can cause incomplete combustion chamber condensation, DPF accumulation on diesel variants, and localised brake disc corrosion from lack of sustained braking heat. Despite the clean MOT history, a prospective buyer should still conduct a physical inspection focused on areas that MOT tests only partially assess. Examine the underside for surface corrosion on suspension mounting points, subframes, and brake pipe runs, particularly given the vehicle's age and potential for salt exposure during winter short trips. Check the condition of suspension bushes and anti-roll bar links for play, as these components can deteriorate through age and thermal cycling rather than purely mileage. Inspect the tyre sidewalls for perishing and the brake disc faces for lipping, even though no defects were flagged, as consumable condition can change rapidly in the weeks following a test. Verify the exhaust system for any signs of blowing joints or heat shield rattles that may have developed since the March 2025 pass. Finally, confirm the service history aligns with Toyota's recommended intervals, as the MOT record alone cannot verify oil changes, coolant condition, or transmission fluid health on this hybrid-equipped model.
