2022 Toyota Corolla Icon Tech HEV CVT 1.8L Hybrid electric (clean) · LS72 FJJ

This Toyota Corolla Hybrid passed its most recent MOT test on 17 September 2025 with no defects recorded at 41,617 miles, indicating a stable roadworthiness trend over the available history. The absence of advisories or failings suggests the vehicle has not experienced recurring mechanical issues requiring attention during the single test window provided. However, the lack of prior MOT records means there is no historical context to assess whether earlier maintenance was consistent or if any potential problems were resolved before the 2025 test. The recorded mileage of 41,617 miles over approximately four years—assuming the vehicle was first registered in 2022—implies an average annual distance of around 10,400 miles, which is typical for a vehicle of this age. Without earlier MOTs, it is impossible to determine whether the car was stored or driven lightly before 2025, nor can we confirm whether the current mileage accurately reflects genuine usage. The single test date also means there is no evidence of how the vehicle performed under regular maintenance intervals, such as servicing or component replacements. Given the sparse MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of high-wear components that are not directly covered by the MOT test. The hybrid drivetrain’s CVT transmission should be checked for unusual noise or slippage, particularly under acceleration, as these systems can degrade silently over time. The suspension—including coil springs, bushes, and dampers—should be examined for uneven wear or corrosion, especially in areas prone to moisture accumulation. Brake systems, while not failed in the latest test, warrant scrutiny for binding calipers, uneven disc wear, or excessive pad thickness, as hybrid vehicles often experience higher thermal stress. Finally, the underbody should be inspected for corrosion around wheel arches and sills, as rust can compromise structural integrity without immediately affecting MOT passability.
