Our Verdict
This is a strong candidate for buyers seeking a modern hybrid, backed by a clean MOT record. The vehicle shows consistent maintenance patterns with no recorded defects across its recent history.
When viewing this blue Corolla, focus on verifying the hybrid battery health and ensuring the CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) operates smoothly without any unusual vibrations or hunting for ratios. While the MOT history shows no defects, you should request evidence of scheduled servicing to complement the digital records.
Negotiate based on the service intervals; as a hybrid, keeping to Toyota's recommended service schedule is vital for long-term reliability. Check the condition of the tyres and brake discs, as these are the most common failure points for this model type across the wider dataset.
As a 1987cc hybrid, this Corolla is designed for efficiency, particularly in urban environments. You can expect competitive fuel economy, though actual costs will depend on your driving style and the ratio of petrol to electric power used.
Tax and insurance groups for the Design trim are generally moderate, making it a sensible choice for families or commuters. Maintenance costs for Toyota hybrids are typically predictable, though you should budget for periodic tyre replacements and brake inspections.
Based on the aggregate data for this model, pay close attention to the tyres, brake discs, and windscreen wipers, as these are the leading causes of MOT failures for similar vehicles. Even though this specific car has passed without defects, these are the high-wear items to check.
Additionally, inspect the hybrid system's operation through the dashboard interface to ensure no warning lights are present. Check the condition of the blue paintwork for any significant stone chipping, which is common on vehicles covering the 40,000-mile mark.
This 2021 Toyota Corolla Design HEV CVT is a relatively recent hybrid model with 40,401 miles recorded at its last MOT in January 2026. The vehicle has a consistent inspection history, passing its last three MOT tests without any recorded defects. Given the model aggregate data shows an average annual mileage of 11,019, this vehicle's usage is largely in line with typical expectations for its age.
The Toyota Corolla shows a high average MOT pass rate of 91.1% across 18,748 analysed vehicles, suggesting a generally reliable platform.
