Our Verdict
Exercise caution before purchasing this
The primary focus for a buyer should be the exceptionally high mileage. At nearly 140,000 miles, this 2021 model has covered more than 16 times the annual average of 8,360 miles recorded for this model type. You should request a full service history to see if the hybrid battery and engine components have been maintained according to Toyota's strict schedules.
When negotiating, use the 2025 MOT failure record as leverage. The failure included several consumable items such as tyres, wipers, and bulbs, which indicates a period where maintenance may have been reactive rather than proactive. Ensure you check the remaining tread depth on all four tyres and verify that the hybrid system shows no warning lights on the dashboard.
As a 1.8L hybrid, this C-HR is designed for efficiency, typically offering good fuel economy in urban environments. However, at this mileage, potential maintenance costs for suspension components or hybrid system cooling may arise.
Tax and insurance will depend on the specific insurance group, but the Euro 6 status ensures it remains compliant with most UK Low Emission Zones. Expect annual running costs to be influenced heavily by your driving style and the frequency of replacement parts like tyres, which were a noted failure point in the 2025 MOT.
Given the 2025 MOT failure, pay close attention to the condition of the tyres and the windscreen wiper assembly. While these were resolved for the 2026 pass, they are indicators of wear. Inspect the lighting system thoroughly, specifically the side repeaters and rear position lamps, to ensure all bulbs and electrical connections are functional.
Because this vehicle has covered nearly 140,000 miles, you should also inspect the suspension for any signs of play or noise, as 'suspension arm' is a common failure reason for this model aggregate. Check the hybrid battery health via a specialist diagnostic if possible, as high-mileage hybrid vehicles require careful monitoring of the electrical powertrain.
This 2021 Toyota C-HR Hybrid has covered 139,884 miles in approximately five years, which is significantly higher than the model average. The MOT history shows a period of multiple failures in April 2025 involving tyres, lighting, and wipers, though the most recent test in May 2026 passed without defects. The vehicle's high usage suggests it may have been used for long-distance commuting or commercial purposes.
The Toyota C-HR shows an average MOT pass rate of 88.4% across the aggregate data, with common failures often relating to tyres and suspension.
