2022 Toyota Corolla GR Sport HEV CVT 1.8L Hybrid electric (clean) · JL61 JLL

The vehicle remains roadworthy with no recorded defects in its most recent 2026-03-26 MOT at 23,823 miles. The 2025-03-28 test at 18,043 miles also showed no issues, indicating a stable maintenance trend over the past 12 months. No recurring faults or structural concerns were flagged, suggesting the car has been well-maintained within the observed period. The mileage progression shows 5,780 miles added between the 2025 and 2026 tests, aligning closely with the average annual figure of 5,956 miles. This low usage rate may reflect infrequent operation or extended periods of inactivity, which can accelerate wear on components like suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers due to lack of cyclic movement. However, the absence of advisories or failures in both tests mitigates immediate concerns. While the MOT records are limited to two entries, the buyer should verify the condition of the exhaust system for corrosion, inspect brake discs and pads for uneven wear, and check for suspension component stiffness. Low mileage can mask hidden issues, such as battery degradation or fluid contamination, which may not appear in standard MOT checks. A pre-purchase inspection should prioritise these areas to confirm the vehicle’s mechanical integrity beyond the recorded data.
