Our Verdict
Highly recommended for buyers seeking a
Given the low mileage, the primary focus should be on verifying the service history to ensure the hybrid system and battery have been maintained according to the manufacturer's schedule. Ensure that the windscreen damage noted in the May 2024 MOT was fully resolved and that the current registration plates meet UK legal requirements.
Negotiate based on the age of the tyres, as these are a common failure point for this model. While the MOT record is relatively clean, a full service history is essential to validate the vehicle's long-term value and the health of the hybrid powertrain.
The 1.8L hybrid engine is designed for efficiency, particularly in stop-start city traffic, which should keep fuel expenditure low. This model generally falls into a favourable tax band due to its low emissions, and insurance groups for the C-HR are typically moderate for its class.
Typical maintenance costs for Toyota hybrids are generally predictable, though owners should budget for the specific requirements of hybrid system health checks. The estimated annual running cost, including fuel, tax, insurance, and routine servicing, is approximately £1,100-£1,400.
Pay close attention to the tyres and suspension arms during a physical inspection, as these are identified as top MOT failure reasons across 96,074 analysed C-HR vehicles. Check the windscreen for any remaining chips or cracks that may have persisted since the 2024 failure.
Additionally, check the headlamps for clarity and function, as these are also common failure points for this model. Ensure the hybrid battery indicator behaves normally during start-up and low-speed driving to confirm the system is operating as intended.
This silver 2017 Toyota C-HR Hybrid has covered 40,197 miles, which is significantly below the model average of 8,360 miles per year. Its MOT history is consistent, with the only failure occurring in May 2024 due to non-compliant registration plates and windscreen damage. The most recent test in August 2025 was passed with no defects recorded.
The C-HR maintains a strong reliability reputation, evidenced by an 88.4% average MOT pass rate across nearly 100,000 vehicles.
