This 2020 Toyota C-HR Hybrid is a concern: only 62.2% pass MOT first time, significantly below the UK average of 80%, and the hybrid-specific engines show an even weaker 59.0% pass rate. The good news is that dangerous defects are non-existent in this cohort, so safety failures aren't the problem—it's recurring minor issues that trip owners up at test time.

At just over 34,000 miles on average, these cars are lightly used for their age, yet they're still failing MOTs at twice the national failure rate, which points to design or build quality issues rather than wear-and-tear. With virtually no advisories flagged (0.0 per vehicle) and minimal failures recorded (0.01 per vehicle), the failures are likely concentrated in specific recurring systems—check the full MOT history of any C-HR Hybrid you're considering to see which components keep coming back as faults.
