2022 Toyota C-HR 1.8L Hybrid electric (clean) · LB22 LJX

The 2022 Toyota C-HR presents a stable and unblemished roadworthiness record. The most recent MOT, conducted on 27 April 2026 at 20,655 miles, passed with zero defects or advisories. This follows a similarly clean pass on 23 July 2025 at 16,860 miles. The trend is firmly stable, indicating no emerging mechanical or structural deterioration over the two recorded test cycles. The mileage accumulation is notably low for a vehicle approaching four years of age. Between the July 2025 test and the April 2026 test, the car covered just 3,795 miles over approximately nine months, averaging roughly 420 miles per month. Across its full recorded history, the annualised rate sits at approximately 5,164 miles per year, well below the UK average. This pattern suggests predominantly short urban or suburban use, which places less stress on the drivetrain and braking components but can increase the risk of DPF-related issues on a petrol hybrid if regular longer runs are absent. With no recurring faults or advisories on file, there is no specific defect trend to flag. A buyer should still inspect the underside for surface corrosion, particularly around suspension mounting points and the rear beam, as low-mileage vehicles spending extended periods stationary can develop early-stage corrosion that MOT tests do not always capture. Tyre condition warrants close attention; low annual mileage often means tyres age out before they wear out, and perished sidewalls on a 2022 vehicle would be a legitimate concern. The hybrid battery health and regenerative braking system operation deserve a brief road-test evaluation. Low-use hybrids can exhibit inconsistent energy recapture behaviour if the high-voltage battery has not been cycled regularly. Brake discs and pads should be inspected for lipping and uneven surface corrosion, a common outcome of infrequent use rather than wear. Overall, the MOT record is as clean as it gets for this age and mileage, but the usage pattern demands a targeted physical inspection rather than reliance on paperwork alone.
