2022 Toyota C-HR 2.0L Hybrid electric (clean) · FP22 GRF

A 2022 Toyota C-HR presenting two consecutive DVSA pass entries, with the most recent test on 13 March 2026 recorded as having no defects or advisories, and the prior test on 20 March 2025 also returning a clean pass. Across the documented testing window the vehicle has not attracted any advisories relating to braking components, suspension linkages, tyres, corrosion, lighting, or exhaust integrity, and no failures or refusals have been logged. The absence of advisory notes over successive tests is a neutral observation from the MOT record alone, indicating only that no tester felt the items inspected had reached the advisory threshold on those dates; it does not independently verify the broader mechanical condition of the vehicle. For a prospective buyer, the headline from the official record is simply that roadworthiness testing has not flagged any component concerns at the two recorded milestones. With only 22,707 miles accumulated over four years, the annual mileage of roughly 5,677 miles is well below the typical usage profile for a vehicle of this age. Such a low accumulation rate is consistent with predominantly short urban journeys, light private use, or extended periods of inactivity. Mechanically, low annual mileage tends to reduce wear on high-cycle consumables such as brake pads, discs, and clutch friction material, and it generally limits fatigue exposure on drivetrain components. However, vehicles used predominantly for short trips or left standing for prolonged intervals are more susceptible to issues such as moisture accumulation in the engine oil, corrosion on underbody and brake components, deterioration of flexible rubber items, and reduced effective battery capacity. A usage pattern of this kind warrants attention to age-related degradation rather than distance-related wear. In terms of components that frequently appear in MOT advisories on similar hybrid and small SUV platforms, the C-HR is known to generate notes for front brake disc corrosion, rear coil spring surface corrosion, and underbody or suspension arm corrosion where road salt exposure has been sustained. Although the current record contains no such advisories, these items remain relevant inspection points. On a physical inspection, the brake discs should be checked for a pronounced lip at the outer edge and for any roughness or judder under light braking, as corroded discs can produce pulsation through the pedal and uneven stopping performance even where pad material remains adequate. The underside of the vehicle should be examined closely for bubbling or flaking paint around the rear spring seats, suspension link mounting points, and subframe areas, particularly behind the wheel arches. Further checks appropriate to a low-mileage 2022 C-HR should include a careful assessment of tyre condition, as age-related sidewall cracking can occur even on lightly used tyres, and a thorough inspection of all exterior and interior lighting clusters for condensation or LED failure. The hybrid system warning lights, 12V auxiliary battery state, and any dashboard messages should be verified as clear on initial ignition, given the documented low usage. A road test should be conducted with attention to any knocking or clonking from the front or rear axles over uneven surfaces, vagueness or pulling in the steering, and any unusual vibration through the brake pedal or steering wheel under moderate deceleration. Should any of these symptoms present, they would warrant a borescope inspection of the discs and a closer underbody examination beyond what the MOT testing record alone would reveal.
