Source: DS Auto Labs analysis of DVSA's anonymised 2025 MOT test results (Open Government Licence v3.0): 103,567 first-time tests of Toyota C-HR cars of all ages (test class 4, cars and light vans). A pass means a clean first-time pass; a car that failed and was repaired at the test station before passing counts as not passed, and aborted tests are excluded. Age is the car's age at the 2025 test.

What to know

In 2025, Toyota C-HR cars passed their MOT first time 86.0% of the time, across 103,567 tests. That is 11.0 points above Toyota's overall brand average of 75.0% and 13.6 points above the national average of 72.4%.

Age explains much of the difference between models. Pass rates fall steeply as cars get older, for every make, so a model with many old cars on the road looks worse than it is, and a recent model looks better. This compares the Toyota C-HR with the typical UK car of the same age.

Allowing for the age mix of the cars tested, a typical UK car would be expected to pass about 83.4% of the time. The Toyota C-HR passed at 86.0%, which is 2.6 points above that expected rate.

A model average says little about one particular car, so check its own MOT history for repeated advisories, past failures and mileage.
