2021 Toyota Highlander Excel HEV CVT 2.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · GU71 AMV

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile with a clean MOT record as of the most recent test on 26 November 2025. The transition from a failure in November 2024 to a clean pass in November 2025 indicates that any previous issues were successfully rectified. The absence of advisories in the latest inspection suggests the vehicle is currently meeting the required standards for roadworthiness without immediate mechanical concerns flagged by the tester. The mileage accumulation is consistent with typical domestic use for a vehicle of this age. The record shows 29,727 miles in November 2024 and 41,896 miles in November 2025, representing an annual usage of approximately 12,169 miles over the last year. This is slightly higher than the 5-year average of 8,379 miles per year but remains well within normal operating parameters for a hybrid vehicle. The data shows a steady progression rather than erratic spikes or long periods of inactivity. While the MOT history is largely clean, the failure recorded on 21 November 2024 at 29,725 miles warrants a brief investigation into what caused the initial non-compliance. Although the specific defect was not detailed in the summary, a buyer should verify that the repairs were carried out professionally. Given the mileage, a physical inspection should focus on the condition of consumable items such as brake pads and discs, tyre tread depth, and the integrity of the suspension bushes. The hybrid powertrain and CVT transmission appear to have been maintained without documented issues. Because the vehicle has covered over 40,000 miles, checking for any signs of minor corrosion on the underbody or exhaust system is a prudent step. The current documentation suggests a well-kept vehicle with no ongoing trends of mechanical degradation.
