Expert automotive synthesis from historical MOT defect records and market benchmarks.
Our Verdict
Recommended with caution due to recent MOT failures, but the low mileage and hybrid efficiency make it a viable option for a 7-year-old vehicle.
Prioritise a thorough inspection of the rear brake pads and nearside front tyre, as these were highlighted in recent MOTs. Check service records to confirm if the 2025 failures were addressed. Negotiate based on the vehicle's history, but the low mileage and hybrid reliability may offset some concerns. Be wary of potential corrosion or wear in hybrid components if service history is incomplete.
The hybrid engine delivers excellent fuel economy, typically 50-60 mpg, reducing fuel costs. As a Euro 6 DG vehicle, it incurs £0 road tax. Insurance groups for hybrids like the C-HR usually fall in the mid-range (e.g., group 20-25). Maintenance costs may be slightly higher due to hybrid system upkeep, but routine servicing should remain affordable. Estimated annual running cost: £800-£1,000.
Focus on the rear brake pads and nearside front tyre, as these were flagged in 2025. Inspect the hybrid battery and electrical system for signs of wear, as these can be costly to replace. Check for leaks or corrosion around the engine bay, and verify that the windscreen wiper was repaired after the 2025 failure. A full service history is critical to confirm maintenance consistency.
This 2019 Toyota C-HR Hybrid has a mixed MOT history, with two minor failures in 2025 but no serious issues. The mileage of 24,589 miles is well below average for its age, and the hybrid powertrain offers strong fuel economy. However, the recent brake pad and tyre issues suggest potential maintenance needs.
No aggregate MOT data available for the Toyota C-HR, so reliability must be assessed on a vehicle-by-vehicle basis.
