2022 Toyota Corolla Icon HEV CVT 1.8L Hybrid electric · MJ72 LGU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive wear-related advisories. The most recent test in March 2026 at 123,651 miles identified both the nearside and offside front brake discs as worn. This follows a previous advisory in March 2024 where front brake pads were flagged as thin, indicating that the braking system is reaching the end of its service cycle due to high usage levels. The mileage profile is exceptionally high for a four-year-old vehicle, averaging over 30,000 miles per year. Between the March 2024 test at 58,709 miles and the March 2025 test at 89,842 miles, the car covered 31,133 miles in just twelve months. Another 33,809 miles were logged in the final year recorded. This rapid accumulation suggests consistent motorway or fleet use, which places significant strain on the hybrid drivetrain, suspension bushings, and cooling components compared to average private ownership patterns. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking assembly to ensure the worn discs and pads have been replaced to manufacturer specifications. Given the high mileage, close attention should be paid to the suspension geometry and condition of control arm bushes, which often degrade under such heavy use. The windscreen damage noted in 2024 should be re-checked for cracks that may have propagated due to the structural stress of the glass over the subsequent 65,000 miles of travel.
