2021 Toyota Corolla Excel HEV CVT 1.8L Hybrid electric (clean) · FG71 EAE

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status with an improving maintenance trend. The most recent inspection conducted on 23 September 2025 at 45,891 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that the issues identified in previous months have been addressed. This represents a significant improvement over the August 2025 test, where multiple tyre-related faults were flagged. The recorded mileage of 45,891 miles over five years averages to approximately 9,178 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK usage patterns for a modern hybrid vehicle. The data shows a notable burst of activity between October 2024 at 35,629 miles and August 2025 at 45,714 miles, covering over 10,000 miles in less than ten months. This consistency suggests the vehicle has been used regularly, which generally helps prevent component degradation associated with long stationary periods. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the wheel alignment and suspension geometry. The August 2025 advisories noted that both the offside and nearside tyres were worn on the edge or slightly damaged, which often points to incorrect tracking or worn suspension bushes rather than simple mileage wear. While the September test passed without defects, the recurring nature of uneven tyre wear justifies a check of the suspension components for play to ensure no premature wear on new sets of tyres.
