The picture
Across 1,395 MOT tests, the C-Hr Orange Edition Hev Cvt returns 93.3% first-time pass — comfortably ahead of the UK fleet average. The single most-logged Major fail is reversing lamp inoperative. Tyre tread under the limit and a non-conforming number plate round out the top three. Average tested mileage sits at 22,221, which is the lens to read those failure rankings through. If you own one and the next test is close, the ranked list below is a sensible pre-test checklist.
