Petrol against the other Toyota C-Hr versions
| Fuel | Pass rate | Tests |
|---|---|---|
| Hybrid | 91.2% | 72,194 |
| Petrol | 88.7% | 9,288 |
| All Toyota C-Hr | 90.9% | 81,490 |
Why the fuel type changes the number
Petrol cars avoid the DPF and emissions failures that catch diesels, and usually fail on the same consumables as any other car.
On the Toyota C-Hr specifically, hybrid is the strongest at 91.2%, and this petrol version sits 2.2 points below the 90.9% model average.
What it means if you are buying one
The petrol Toyota C-Hr fails more often than the model average, so budget for the items that catch this fuel type and treat a fresh MOT as worth paying for. Buying a damaged one? run it through the analyzer, check the exact car, decode the VIN and check the mileage before you bid.
Mileage is part of the answer
The average petrol Toyota C-Hr had covered 43,334 miles at test, against 41,944 for the hybrid. That is below average for a car this age, worth a mileage-consistency check since an unusually low reading is sometimes clocking rather than luck.
Fuel type and mileage are tangled together: diesels are usually bought by higher-mileage drivers, so some of any gap between fuels is the miles rather than the engine. The per-year figures on the Toyota C-Hr page separate age from fuel if you want to isolate one.
