Our Verdict
A strong candidate for buyers seeking a relatively modern hybrid. The vehicle shows a clean recent MOT history with no recorded defects in its last two tests.
When inspecting this specific silver C-HR, focus on the hybrid system's integration and the condition of the 1798cc engine components. Because the mileage is significantly above the annual average for this model, check for signs of high-frequency driving, such as wear on the driver's seat bolsters and pedal rubbers.
Ask the seller for a detailed service history to supplement the MOT data. While the MOTs show no defects, they do not confirm regular oil changes or hybrid system health checks. Ensure any work carried out matches the mileage increments recorded in the MOT history.
As a hybrid electric vehicle, the C-HR is designed for efficiency, particularly in urban environments. The 1.8L engine typically falls into a moderate insurance group and tax band, though you should verify the specific group for this AF71 registration.
Maintenance costs for Toyota hybrids are generally predictable, but with the mileage sitting above average, you should budget for more frequent consumable replacements. Typical annual costs will be influenced by your annual mileage, which is currently trending higher than the model aggregate average.
Given that 'tyre' is the top failure reason for this model across the aggregate data, perform a thorough check of the tread depth and sidewall condition on all four tyres. Check for uneven wear which could indicate alignment issues.
Since the 2024 and 2025 MOTs recorded no defects, there are no specific mechanical failures to trace, but you should still inspect the braking system and suspension components. Given the mileage of 56,434, check for any signs of fluid leaks or excessive wear in the underbody that may not have triggered an MOT advisory yet.
This 2021 Toyota C-HR features a 1.8L hybrid engine and has covered 56,434 miles as of its November 2025 MOT. Its mileage is notably higher than the model average of 8,350 miles per year, suggesting frequent use. However, the two most recent MOT records show no defects, providing a consistent pass history since its first registration.
The Toyota C-HR shows a high average MOT pass rate of 88.4% across nearly 96,000 analysed vehicles.
