Toyota C Hr (2021)
2021 Toyota C Hr
CarHunch analysed 14,032 real MOT records for the 2021 Toyota C Hr. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2021 Toyota C-HR is exceptionally reliable, with a 93.4% first-time pass rate that sits well above the UK average of 80%—and dangerous defects are rare, affecting only 3.8% of vehicles tested. The hybrid powertrain across the entire cohort appears to be performing well, with no meaningful gap between fuel types to worry about.
These cars are running lean on mileage at just over 27,000 miles median for a three-year-old model, suggesting either careful ownership or limited use, which explains the low failure rate of 0.22 per vehicle. With advisories averaging 1.2 per test, minor wear items are cropping up as expected, but if you're buying one, a pre-purchase inspection should focus on brake fluid condition and suspension components rather than engine problems.
What to check before buying a 2021 Toyota C Hr
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.
