2022 Toyota Corolla Design HEV CVT 1.8L Hybrid electric · AF22 AEJ

This vehicle is in an excellent state of roadworthiness with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test on 13 February 2026 at 9,957 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a similarly clean result from the previous year, indicating the car has been kept in a condition that meets all DVSA safety and environmental standards without requiring remedial work. The mileage is exceptionally low for a four year old vehicle, averaging roughly 2,489 miles per year. Between the 15 February 2025 test at 5,210 miles and the February 2026 test, the car covered 4,747 miles. This pattern suggests the vehicle is used sparingly, which typically preserves the interior and drivetrain components but can introduce specific risks associated with low usage. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components that degrade regardless of mileage. Low-use hybrid vehicles can suffer from brake disc corrosion or binding calipers due to infrequent heavy braking. Check the tyre date codes to ensure the rubber has not perished from age, even if the tread depth remains high. Verify that the 12V auxiliary battery holds a strong charge, as infrequent trips can lead to premature battery failure in these models. Given the absence of any recorded suspension or structural issues in the MOT history, a simple visual check for perished rubber bushes or leaks from the CVT transmission will suffice to confirm the vehicle's mechanical integrity.
