2019 Toyota C Hr Icon HEV CVT

CarHunch analysed 133 real MOT records for the 2019 Toyota C Hr Icon HEV CVT. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.

This 2019 C-HR hybrid is underperforming at MOT with a 65.5% first-time pass rate, well below the UK average of 80%, suggesting reliability issues are more common than typical for this age. The good news is that dangerous defects haven't appeared in this cohort, so while failures are happening, they're not safety-critical ones.

At 40,643 miles median, these cars are running relatively low mileage for their age, yet still struggling through their tests—this points to design or component vulnerabilities rather than heavy use taking its toll. With virtually no advisories being recorded alongside the failures, you're looking at problems that arrive suddenly rather than gradually wear; have any prospective purchase independently inspected by a hybrid specialist before committing.

What to check before buying a 2019 Toyota C Hr Icon HEV CVT

Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.

  • 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
  • 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
  • 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
  • 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
