2022 Toyota Corolla Design HEV CVT 2.0L Hybrid electric (clean) · FP71 DWN

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness status, following a clean MOT pass on January 7 2026 at 62,315 miles. This recent result shows no defects, marking a significant improvement over the failure recorded in the previous year. The maintenance trend suggests the current owner addressed necessary issues to bring the car back to passing standards. The mileage profile shows a high rate of use, averaging approximately 15,600 miles per year over the last four years. Between the January 2025 and January 2026 tests, the car covered 9,122 miles in exactly one year. This consistent accumulation indicates regular long-distance use, likely involving motorway driving, which typically places predictable wear on drivetrain components and suspension-related parts compared to low-mileage city vehicles. While the most recent test was clean, the failure on January 6, 2025, at 53,193 miles indicates a mechanical or safety fault required rectification before the retest. A buyer should verify the specific reason for that 2025 failure to ensure the repair was permanent rather than symptomatic. Given the high mileage, a physical inspection should focus on the condition of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs to ensure no accelerated wear has occurred from the heavy annual usage.
