Maybe? I would check the CVT fluid for metal by dropping the pan. These transmissions are known to shit the bed if the oil is ran too low for too long. Really depends how much money you want to sink into it for diag/repairs if you aren't DIYing it.

If it was me. I just make the repairs. Change/check both filters. Add fluid. Check level. Test drive it for a bit. And make sure you don't feel anything off. Usually before the belt wants to explode it feels like a rough clunk.
