Our Verdict
A strong recommendation for buyers seeki
Focus your attention on the tyres; the November 2025 MOT failure flagged three different tyres (nearside rear, offside front, and nearside front). Ensure these were replaced with quality brands rather than budget alternatives to maintain the vehicle's handling and safety.
Request the full service history to confirm that the hybrid system health checks have been performed. While the MOT record is relatively clean, verifying that the 1.8L engine has been serviced at the recommended intervals will provide more certainty regarding its long-term mechanical state.
The 1.8L hybrid engine is designed for efficiency, typically offering low fuel consumption and falling into a favourable Euro 6 tax bracket. Insurance groups for the C-HR are generally moderate, making it an affordable option for most drivers.
Typical maintenance costs are low, although aggregate data suggests tyres are a frequent replacement item for this model. Between fuel, tax, insurance, and routine servicing, the annual cost is expected to be manageable.
Carefully inspect the tyres, specifically the nearside rear, to ensure the 'slight pershing' noted in the final MOT advisory has been addressed. Check the tread depth and sidewall condition of all four tyres to confirm they are now within legal and safety limits.
Beyond the tyres, inspect the suspension arms and headlamps. These are identified as top failure reasons across the wider C-HR dataset (96,074 vehicles analysed) and should be checked for any signs of wear, leaks, or clouding.
This red 2020 Toyota C-HR Hybrid has recorded 29,111 miles, which is well below the model average for its age. The MOT history shows two clean passes followed by a failure in November 2025 due to tyre wear and pershing, which was rectified on the same day. Its Euro 6 status and hybrid powertrain make it a practical choice for urban and mixed driving.
The Toyota C-HR demonstrates a solid reliability reputation with an average MOT pass rate of 88.4% across nearly 100,000 vehicles.
