This 2017 C-HR Hybrid has a serious problem: only 40.3% pass their MOT first time, nearly half the UK average of 80%. The hybrid powertrain appears to be the culprit—the 116 hybrid examples in this cohort have an alarming 22.0% pass rate, suggesting systemic issues with the electric components or battery system that examiners are flagging repeatedly.
At 55,811 miles median, these cars are mid-mileage for their age, so wear isn't an obvious excuse. The lack of dangerous defects (0%) is one saving grace, but with almost no advisories being raised either (0.09 per vehicle), this points to MOT failures being concentrated in specific, persistent faults rather than general deterioration. If you're considering one, budget for specialist hybrid diagnostics before purchase and expect recurring MOT issues until the core problem is identified and fixed.
