2022 Toyota C-HR GR Sport HEV CVT 2.0L Hybrid electric (clean) · SS13 DJS

The most recent MOT test conducted on 27 June 2026 resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. Reviewing the vehicle history, the maintenance trend is exceptionally stable, with the car consistently passing its inspections without significant failure. A minor advisory regarding fitted under trays was noted in February 2025, but this is a common observation and does not indicate a mechanical deficiency or a decline in the structural integrity of the vehicle. With a recorded mileage of 23,394 miles over approximately four years, the vehicle has averaged roughly 5,848 miles per year. This is considerably lower than the UK national average, suggesting the car has been used for light duties or short commutes. While low mileage generally implies reduced wear on the CVT transmission and engine internals, it can also indicate periods of prolonged standing, which necessitates a specific focus during the physical inspection. Given the clean MOT record and low usage, the buyer should focus on age-related degradation rather than wear-and-tear. It is essential to examine the tyre sidewalls for signs of perishing or fine cracking, as rubber compounds degrade over time regardless of remaining tread depth. Additionally, check the brake discs for surface corrosion or evidence of binding calipers, which can occur when a vehicle is not driven frequently. During the test drive, listen for any unusual pulsations through the brake pedal or grinding noises that could indicate uneven disc wear or seized sliders. Attention should also be paid to the 12V auxiliary battery health and the vehicle service history. Hybrid systems rely on a healthy 12V battery for startup sequences, and low-mileage cars are more prone to battery depletion. Verify that the service book contains stamps for calendar-based intervals, as engine oil and brake fluid degrade over time even if the annual mileage is minimal. Ensure that all scheduled hybrid health checks have been performed by a Toyota-approved technician to maintain the warranty and ensure the long-term efficiency of the powertrain.
