2022 Toyota Corolla Excel HEV CVT 1.8L Hybrid electric (clean) · WJ04 CNO

The vehicle maintains a clean roadworthiness status, evidenced by its successful pass in the September 2025 MOT test at 22,357 miles. The single advisory regarding minor sidewall damage on the nearside rear tyre indicates a standard consumable issue rather than a systemic mechanical failure. This record reflects a stable condition, as the vehicle has not encountered recurring faults or structural defects during its initial years of service. A total of 22,357 miles over four years averages approximately 5,589 miles per annum, which sits well below the typical usage for a modern hybrid vehicle. This low-mileage profile suggests the car has likely been used for shorter, urban journeys or remained stationary for extended periods. While the mechanical history is sparse due to the vehicle's youth, the lack of frequent MOT testing history confirms the car has only recently entered the statutory testing cycle, leaving little opportunity for long-term maintenance trends to develop. Prospective buyers should prioritise a physical inspection of the suspension components and the hybrid battery cooling intake, as low-mileage vehicles that sit for long periods can occasionally develop seized brake calipers or surface corrosion on brake discs. The tyre noted in the 2025 record requires immediate verification to ensure it has been replaced with a quality unit of matching specification. Check the remaining tread depth on all four corners, as the current mileage suggests the original factory-fitted tyres may be reaching the end of their service life. Focus your physical assessment on the condition of the alloy wheels for kerb damage and verify that the hybrid drivetrain transitions smoothly between electric and combustion modes during a cold start.
