2022 Toyota Corolla Icon HEV CVT 1.8L Hybrid electric (clean) · GL22 WJD

The vehicle currently stands on the roadworthiness road, but the maintenance trend is deteriorating rather than stable, with the most recent MOT failing in May 2025 at 17,344 miles. This indicates a significant decline in mechanical condition since the last successful test, which was recorded in July 2025 at 17,909 miles. The failure in May 2025 was caused by a bulge in the front tyre and a non-clearing wiper, suggesting that the vehicle has experienced a series of mechanical failures and consumable wear that have accumulated over the last two years. The mileage profile reveals a clear pattern of rapid accumulation that contradicts the vehicle's age. At 4,477 miles per year, the vehicle is only 4 years old, yet it has accumulated over 17,000 miles in just four years, resulting in a gap of 17,000 miles of accumulated mileage. This gap suggests that the vehicle may have been used less frequently than its age would imply, or it has been parked for extended periods, which would typically cause the tyres and suspension components to wear out faster than expected. The lack of a clear record of any major structural repairs or suspension bushings in the last three years implies that basic upkeep was not maintained, leaving the vehicle exposed to wear and tear that would likely accelerate if not addressed. Given the recurring faults and the history of failed tests, the buyer must inspect the vehicle in person to identify and repair any structural issues such as the bulged front tyre, the failing wiper, or any corrosion on exhaust components. The absence of any recorded suspension bushings or brake disc replacement in the last three years suggests that the vehicle's chassis is structurally sound but may require attention to the components that are failing. A buyer should be prepared to spend time on the vehicle to verify the condition of the engine, exhaust, and exhaust emissions, as the current MOT record does not confirm that these components are in good order despite the history of failed tests.
