2019 Toyota Corolla 2.0L Hybrid electric (clean) · MJ69 KAK

The most recent MOT on 2025-10-15 shows a failure related to the front windscreen wiper not clearing the windscreen effectively, a safety-critical issue under 3.4 (b) (ii). This is the only recorded defect in the latest test, though the same date also lists a "PASSED" result, creating ambiguity about the vehicle’s compliance status. The prior MOT in 2024-10-14 noted nearside and offside front tyres worn close to the legal limit, a recurring issue that may indicate uneven wear or insufficient maintenance. No other defects were recorded in MOTs from 2023 or 2022. The vehicle’s mileage of 80,868 miles over seven years equates to roughly 11,553 miles annually, which aligns with typical usage for its age. There is no strong evidence of heavy wear or under-use, as the mileage falls within a normal range. However, the 2024 tyre wear and 2025 wiper failure suggest isolated mechanical concerns rather than a worsening trend. The absence of defects in earlier MOTs indicates the car was previously well-maintained, but the recent failure highlights potential neglect or component degradation. The pattern of issues appears sporadic rather than systemic. The 2024 tyre wear may have been addressed by 2025, as no similar defects were noted in the latest test.
