2023 Toyota Corolla Icon HEV CVT 1.8L Hybrid electric (clean) · BF23 TFY

The vehicle presents a clean bill of health across its entire MOT history. The most recent test on 17 March 2026 at 22,300 miles passed with zero defects, advisories, or failures. This is the fourth consecutive first-time pass since the car was registered, indicating a stable and consistently well-maintained condition with no recurring mechanical or structural faults. The mileage progression tells a straightforward story. The car covered just 24 miles by its first test on 21 March 2023, then added 8,805 miles by 6 March 2024, followed by a further 2,418 miles by 3 March 2025, and then a significant jump of 11,053 miles in the final year leading to the March 2026 test. That last twelve-month period accounts for nearly half the car's total recorded mileage, suggesting a shift from light use to sustained daily driving. Despite this increased usage, the most recent test still recorded no defects, which speaks well of the car's resilience and upkeep. With no recurring faults flagged across four tests, there are no specific problem areas to highlight. The absence of advisories on suspension bushes, coil springs, brake components, or exhaust emissions means the car has not yet developed the typical wear items expected at this mileage. The hybrid powertrain and CVT gearbox have operated without any recorded issues, though the sudden increase in annual mileage warrants a brief in-person check of the regenerative braking system and hybrid battery health. A buyer should still carry out a standard physical inspection. Check the tyre tread depth and sidewall condition, as the recent mileage surge may have accelerated wear. Inspect the underside for any fresh stone chips, minor corrosion, or exhaust damage that a March test would not have flagged if it occurred afterwards. Test the brake pedal feel and handbrake hold on a slope, and listen for any unusual drivetrain noise during a short drive. The MOT record is exceptionally clean, but a hands-on check remains essential before purchase.
