The 2023 Toyota C-HR is exceptionally reliable, passing its first MOT 97.3% of the time—well ahead of the UK average of 80%—with only 1.5% of vehicles ever flagged for dangerous defects, making it a genuinely safe bet for buyers. At roughly 23,000 miles average, these cars are still young and low-mileage, which explains why failures average just 0.06 per vehicle and advisories only 0.3, indicating minimal wear issues so far.

You're looking at a car that's living up to Toyota's reputation for durability, though the median CarHunch score of 65 suggests that while mechanically sound, there may be minor niggles or trim concerns worth checking on a test drive. Before buying, verify the full service history and get a pre-purchase inspection focused on any advisory items flagged—they're rare enough that any pattern worth noting would be worth investigating.

The 2023 Toyota C Hr passes its MOT first time more often than most UK vehicles (97.3% vs ~80% average) — and when it does fail, it's usually something minor and cheap to fix.
