2020 Toyota Corolla Icon Tech HEV CVT 1.8L Hybrid electric (clean) · FG70 OBU

The Toyota Corolla presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 29 January 2026 at 45,387 miles passed with no defects recorded, confirming the vehicle remains in sound mechanical condition. A failed entry logged on the same date at 45,377 miles shows no defects cited, indicating an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a fault-based failure. Mileage accumulation has been light and irregular against the six-year age. The car recorded just 2,753 miles at the October 2023 test, 3,955 miles by August 2024, and 4,905 miles in February 2025. A sharp rise to 45,387 miles by January 2026 suggests either a single high-use period or a late mileage correction, with annual averages near 7,564 miles still typical for the class. No advisories or defects appear across the five tests, so the record reveals no recurring wear on suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or structural corrosion. The clean history implies conscientious upkeep by previous keepers, though the long idle between 2023 and 2025 may have allowed tyre sidewall cracking or seized calipers through disuse. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of underbody structural integrity and brake binding, given the low early mileage and sudden 2026 increase. Verify the January 2026 failure reason with the DVSA, and check hybrid battery cooling and CVT fluid condition, as these are not assessed in the MOT but carry risk on lightly used hybrids.
