Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The Toyota C-HR passed its most recent MOT on 5 February 2026 at 16,132 miles with no defects recorded, confirming the vehicle holds a clean roadworthiness status. The maintenance trend shows stable condition with no advisories or failures across the available history. At roughly three years old, the single test on file reflects a fault-free outcome. Recorded mileage stands at 16,132 miles against the February 2026 test, equating to about 5,377 miles per year since first registration. This low annual accumulation suggests light use or extended standing periods rather than high-load driving. The DVSA record contains only the one entry, so no rapid accumulation or gap between tests can be assessed beyond the clean single pass. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, brake discs, and underbody corrosion given the vehicle's low mileage and possible prolonged idle time. Standing vehicles often develop perished seals, flat-spotted tyres, and surface rust unseen in a pass result. The absence of advisories does not exempt the C-HR from checks on hybrid drivetrain cooling and exhaust emissions hardware before purchase.

Our Verdict

This 2023 Toyota C-HR GR Sport HEV CVT presents a low-risk purchase with a clean MOT history and below-average mileage for its age, making it a strong candidate for eco-conscious buyers.

Prioritize checking the hybrid system's service history, as electrical components can be costly to repair. Verify that all maintenance intervals have been met, particularly for the 1.8L hybrid engine and CVT transmission. Negotiate based on the vehicle's low mileage and clean MOT record, but be cautious of potential hidden costs associated with hybrid technology. Insist on a full history check to confirm no previous accidents or flood damage.

As a hybrid electric vehicle, fuel economy is expected to be excellent, with typical combined figures around 50-60 mpg. Zero road tax applies due to low CO2 emissions (Euro 6 AP compliant). Insurance groups for hybrid SUVs typically range from 20-30, with premiums averaging £1,200-£1,500 annually. Routine maintenance costs should remain moderate, though hybrid battery replacements could exceed £2,000 if needed after 8-10 years.

Focus on the hybrid battery pack and inverter for signs of wear, as these are critical components in HEV systems. Check brake fluid condition (hybrid systems often have shorter service intervals) and inspect the CVT transmission for unusual noises. Verify that all MOT-passed items (e.g., lights, tyres, exhaust) remain in good condition. Review service records for any hybrid-specific diagnostics or software updates.

The vehicle has a single MOT record from February 2026 showing no defects, with 16,132 miles recorded. As a hybrid electric model, it benefits from zero road tax and low emissions. While no aggregate reliability data exists for this specific variant, its recent passing MOT and low mileage suggest good maintenance standards.

No aggregate MOT data exists for the Toyota C-HR GR Sport HEV CVT, making it difficult to assess long-term reliability trends for this exact variant.
