2021 Toyota Corolla Design HEV CVT 1.8L Hybrid electric (clean) · FN21 YBD

The Toyota Corolla Design HEV CVT presents as roadworthy following the most recent DVSA test on 22 May 2025 at 20,756 miles, where the tester recorded a pass with no defects. The maintenance trend is stable and clean across the available record. One anomaly appears in the form of a failed test on 21 May 2025 at the identical mileage of 20,756, yet the failure carried no recorded defects, suggesting an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault before the pass the next day. The odometer shows 17,209 miles at the 9 May 2024 test and 20,756 miles by May 2025, giving just 3,547 miles over twelve months and an average of roughly 4,151 miles per year since the 2021 build. This is low for a five-year-old vehicle. The sparse three-entry history with zero advisories or defects points to light use, though extended standing periods common with low mileage can allow tyre sidewall cracking, flat spots, and surface corrosion on brake discs to develop unseen by the MOT regime. A buyer should still confirm in person that the hybrid drivetrain and CVT transmission operate without hesitation, given the car has spent much of its life idle. The brake discs and calipers warrant a visual check for rust binding after low-use storage, and the suspension bushes should be inspected for perishing despite no advisories raised. No recurring mechanical faults, structural integrity concerns, or exhaust emission failures appear in the record. The absence of any flagged wear items across two passed tests implies the previous keeper kept basic upkeep current, but a pre-purchase inspection remains sensible on a low-mileage hybrid of this profile.
