2022 Toyota C-HR Design HEV CVT 1.8L Electric · JIW 312

The most recent MOT test on 19 February 2026 confirmed the Toyota C-HR HEV as fully roadworthy with no defects recorded at 27,628 miles. This represents a stable maintenance trend, as the vehicle has passed every test without fail, suggesting consistent compliance with MOT standards. The absence of advisories or recurring faults in the single available record indicates no obvious mechanical issues requiring immediate attention. However, the test date is now just five months old, meaning the vehicle has not yet reached the mandatory annual retest threshold, which would have occurred on 19 February 2027. The recorded mileage of 27,628 miles over approximately four years—roughly 6,907 miles annually—falls within the expected range for a vehicle of this age. There are no gaps or spikes in mileage to suggest prolonged neglect or aggressive use, though the single MOT entry limits deeper contextual analysis. The CVT transmission and hybrid drivetrain components remain untested beyond basic functionality, which is standard for MOT inspections. Given the limited history, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of the CVT transmission for unusual noise or slippage, particularly under acceleration or deceleration. The hybrid battery and cooling system, though not MOT-tested, should be checked for corrosion, fluid leaks, or swollen modules. Suspension components—including coil springs, bushes, and dampers—should be examined for wear or binding, especially if the vehicle has encountered uneven surfaces. Brake discs and pads, while not flagged in the MOT, warrant scrutiny for uneven wear or excessive thickness reduction, as hybrid systems often place higher demands on braking systems. Finally, the underbody should be inspected for corrosion, particularly around wheel arches and the sills, given the vehicle’s age and exposure to road salt.
