MOT pass rate head to head

percentage point gap in the Toyota C-HR's favour

That is a wide gap by the standards of this data, and worth weighing. The figures come from 103,572 tests of the Toyota C-HR and 328,254 of the Nissan Juke. The Nissan Juke also arrives at test with roughly 17,940 more miles on average, which usually says more about who buys it and what they use it for than about how long it lasts.

A pass rate is not a reliability score. It records whether cars met the roadworthiness standard on test day.

Which one holds up better with age?

A headline pass rate mixes three-year-old cars with fifteen-year-old ones. Split by age, you can see what each model does over time.

Age at testC-HRJuke
3 to 5 years 86.8% 86.9%
6 to 10 years 82.8% 71.2%
11 years and over 50% (small sample) 54.8%

There are not enough tests in every age group to compare the two fairly across all ages.

Full Nissan Juke failure detail

The Toyota C-HR fails most often on lamps, reflectors and electrical equipment, the Nissan Juke on suspension. Two different things to check on a viewing, and two different conversations to have with the seller. These are recorded failure categories, not faults every car has.

The specific items testers wrote down

One level deeper than the category: the individual defects recorded most often on each model.

Toyota C-HR

  • Wipers does not clear the windscreen effectively
  • Headlamp not working on dipped beam
  • Tread depth tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm

Nissan Juke

  • Ball joint ball joint excessively worn
  • Track rod end ball joint has excessive play
  • Wipers does not clear the windscreen effectively

What this comparison can't tell you

Everything above describes two models across the whole UK fleet. It says nothing about the one car in the advert. Two C-HRs of the same year and mileage can be worth thousands apart because of finance, a write-off, a theft record or a clocked odometer, none of which appear in MOT data.

Toyota C-HR vs Nissan Juke FAQs

Is the Toyota C-HR or the Nissan Juke more likely to pass its MOT?

The Toyota C-HR passed 86% of its initial MOT tests in the DVSA 2025 data against 69.8% for the Nissan Juke, a gap of 16.2 percentage points. That is a fleet-wide average, not a prediction about the specific car you are looking at.

Does a higher MOT pass rate mean a more reliable car?

No. An MOT records whether a vehicle met the roadworthiness standard on the day it was tested. It does not test the engine, clutch or gearbox, and it does not measure how often a car breaks down. Pass rates are useful for comparing how two models are holding up across the whole UK fleet, and nothing more than that.

Which is cheaper to keep on the road, the Toyota C-HR or the Nissan Juke?

This data does not price servicing or repairs, so it cannot answer that directly. What it does show is what each model most often fails on, which is a fair guide to where the money goes. The Toyota C-HR fails most often on lamps, reflectors and electrical equipment. The Nissan Juke fails most often on suspension.

Which one has covered more miles by MOT time?

The average Nissan Juke arrived at its 2025 MOT on 62,908 miles, against 44,968 for the Toyota C-HR. That usually reflects who buys each car and what they use it for rather than how long it will last.

How do I check the actual Toyota C-HR I have found?

Enter its registration. A Carpeep car history check reports outstanding finance, insurance write-off markers, stolen markers, the mileage recorded at every MOT, previous keepers, tax and MOT status, import and export markers and scrapped status in one £15 report. None of that appears in model-level MOT statistics.

MOT figures are aggregated from the DVSA MOT Anonymised data set for 2025 (class 4 initial tests, retests excluded), licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0. MOT results describe roadworthiness at test, not mechanical reliability.
