2022 Toyota Corolla Icon HEV CVT 1.8L Hybrid electric (clean) · DY22 VFP

This Toyota Corolla passed its most recent MOT in April 2026 with a clean bill of health and no recorded defects. This is an encouraging sign, especially compared to the previous year's test in April 2025, which identified defective wiper blades on both sides and cuts on the offside front and rear tyres. The resolution of these issues suggests the vehicle's condition trend is stable, with maintenance being addressed appropriately. However, the mileage of 59,110 miles is notably high for a four-year-old car, averaging nearly 15,000 miles per year. Such heavy use places greater stress on consumables and mechanical components than average. While the recent MOT pass is reassuring, the high mileage implies that parts like the suspension, brakes, and tyres may be approaching the end of their service life sooner than on a lower-mileage example. The tyre damage noted in the 2025 test indicates the vehicle has likely been driven on roads with debris or poor surfaces. When inspecting the car, you should prioritize a close examination of the current tyre condition, looking for any new cuts, bulges, or uneven wear patterns. It is also advisable to have the braking system and suspension checked thoroughly for signs of wear consistent with this high annual mileage. Finally, ensure the hybrid system engages and drives smoothly, as the drivetrain will have endured significant use.
