2022 Toyota Corolla Design HEV CVT 1.8L Hybrid electric (clean) · FH71 KMM

The Corolla presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 25 September 2025 at 73,876 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, matching the clean result from the 1 October 2024 test at 44,327 miles. Two consecutive annual examinations with zero advisories or failures indicate the vehicle has not entered any pattern of recurring mechanical fault. Mileage accumulation sits well above typical for a four-year-old car. The record shows 44,327 miles at the October 2024 test and 73,876 miles by September 2025, a single-year gain of 29,549 miles against an overall average of roughly 18,469 per year. Such loading points to sustained motorway or high-duty cycle use rather than short urban trips, yet the sparse two-entry history gives no evidence of neglected intervals or skipped tests between dates. With no advisories logged across either examination, the MOT data raises no specific structural or mechanical concerns such as corroded subframes, worn suspension bushes, or binding brake calipers. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of consumable items given the high annual mileage, focusing on front brake disc thickness, tyre tread depth across all four corners, and the condition of the hybrid drivetrain's cooling system. The CVT and HV battery warrant a diagnostic scan to confirm state of health under the recorded duty cycle. Previous keepers appear to have maintained the car to a standard that satisfies DVSA pass criteria without deferred repairs. The absence of minor consumable flags like wiper blades or lamps suggests either prompt pre-test rectification or genuinely sound condition. Given the clean record, the principal risk remains unseen wear from high mileage rather than documented defect.
