2022 Toyota Corolla Icon HEV CVT 1.8L Hybrid electric (clean) · MJ72 LHC

The vehicle presents a fully clean MOT record with zero advisories or defects across all three tests to date. The most recent examination, conducted on 15 August 2025 at 63,492 miles, passed with no defects recorded, indicating a stable and well-maintained condition at that point. No recurring faults appear in the history, so no worsening or resolving trend can be identified. The record is unblemished, which is a strong positive indicator for a hybrid of this age and mileage. At roughly four years old with 63,492 miles, the Corolla has covered approximately 15,873 miles per year, placing it above the typical UK annual average of around 10,000 to 12,000 miles. The mileage progression reveals a notable gap between the November 2023 test at 27,493 miles and the June 2024 test at 38,586 miles, representing 11,093 miles in just under seven months. This suggests sustained high use during that period, likely consistent with motorway or long-distance commuting. The subsequent interval from June 2024 to August 2025 shows only 24,906 miles added over approximately fourteen months, indicating a slightly reduced but still substantial annual rate. The MOT frequency itself raises a minor query, as the gap between the 2024 and 2025 tests exceeds twelve months, though this is not uncommon for owners who time renewals around the anniversary of first registration. Despite the clean paperwork, the high annual mileage warrants a focused physical inspection. Buyers should examine the condition of the front and rear brake discs and pads, as sustained high-mileage use accelerates consumable wear. The suspension bushes, coil springs, and dampers deserve close scrutiny, particularly for signs of premature deterioration from prolonged load and road contact. Tyre condition and tread depth across all four corners should be verified, given the above-average wear rate implied by the mileage. The hybrid battery health and regenerative braking system should also be assessed, as these components are integral to the Corolla HEV's drivetrain and can degrade with heavy use. A thorough underbody inspection for corrosion or structural compromise is advisable, even though no such issues appeared on the MOT record.
