Our Verdict
A solid recommendation for those seeking
When inspecting this blue C-HR, prioritise verifying the condition of the tyres. While the 2023 MOT failure noted cracks and edge wear on both front tyres, you should check if the current set has been replaced and if they show any signs of uneven wear or age-related cracking.
Given the hybrid powertrain, ensure the hybrid system shows no warning lights on the dashboard. Although the MOT records do not confirm service history, you should request documentation to see how the 1.8L hybrid engine has been maintained between its annual inspections. Check for any recent brake disc or pad replacements, as these are common maintenance items for hybrid vehicles using regenerative braking.
As a 1.8L hybrid electric vehicle, this C-HR is designed for efficiency, typically falling into a lower insurance group and offering competitive fuel economy for urban driving. Tax bands for this model vary based on specific CO2 emissions, but Euro 6 compliance ensures it is exempt from many low-emission zone charges.
Annual running costs are estimated to be moderate. While fuel costs will be relatively low due to the hybrid system, you should budget for periodic maintenance of the hybrid battery cooling system and standard consumable items like tyres and wipers. The estimated annual running cost is approximately £1,100-£1,400, including fuel, tax, insurance, and routine servicing.
Focus specifically on the tyres. The 2023 MOT record highlighted significant issues with the nearside and offside front tyres, including cracks and edge wear. Inspect the current tread depth and look for any sidewall damage or uneven wear patterns that might suggest alignment issues.
Additionally, keep an eye on suspension components. While no suspension failures are recorded for this specific vehicle, 'suspension arm' is noted as a top failure reason for this model in the aggregate data. Finally, check the headlamps for clarity and alignment, as this is another common failure point for the C-HR model across the wider dataset.
This 2020 Toyota C-HR hybrid has covered 27,261 miles since its first registration in September 2020. The MOT history shows one failure in 2023 related to tyre wear and cracking, but the subsequent 2024 and 2025 tests recorded no defects. With an average annual mileage of approximately 6,800, it has been driven less than the model aggregate average of 8,360 miles per year.
The Toyota C-HR shows a high aggregate MOT pass rate of 88.4% across nearly 100,000 analysed vehicles.
