2018 Toyota C-HR 1.8L Hybrid electric (clean) · YC68 NNR

The vehicle currently presents a clean roadworthiness status, having passed its two most recent MOT tests in March and April 2026 with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend shows significant improvement following a period of neglect in late 2025. While the car previously failed in September 2025 due to brake and suspension issues, the subsequent passes with zero advisories indicate that the owner addressed the flagged mechanical faults to bring the vehicle back to standard operating condition. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,200 miles per year. There is a notable increase in usage between September 2024 at 48,888 miles and September 2025 at 60,271 miles, representing over 11,000 miles driven in a single year. However, usage has slowed down significantly recently, with only 400 miles recorded between the March and April 2026 tests, suggesting the car is currently being used for short trips. A buyer should specifically inspect the front suspension geometry, as the nearside front lower suspension arm bush appeared as a recurring fault in 2023 and 2025. Although it passed the 2026 test, the repeated flagging of this component suggests a tendency for wear or poor alignment. You should also verify the condition of the rear brake pads and discs, as the 2025 failure highlighted thin pads and worn discs. The history of low tyre tread depth indicates a pattern of waiting until the MOT failure point rather than performing proactive maintenance, so a comprehensive check of all four tyres is essential.
