2023 Toyota Corolla Icon Tech HEV CVT 1.8L Hybrid electric · ML72 JWZ

The vehicle remains in a roadworthy condition with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test on 19 May 2026 at 63,130 miles resulted in a pass despite a minor failure regarding a defective nearside registration plate lamp. This is a superficial defect that does not indicate mechanical failure or structural concern, suggesting that the vehicle has been maintained to a high standard throughout its short three-year history. The mileage data indicates a high intensity of use for a three-year-old vehicle. Since the initial registration in January 2023 with just 100 miles, the car has covered over 63,000 miles. Specifically, between the June 2025 test at 39,529 miles and the May 2026 test, the vehicle clocked approximately 23,600 miles in a single year. This rapid accumulation suggests consistent motorway use or commercial-style application, which typically accelerates wear on specific consumable components compared to the average private vehicle. Because the MOT history shows no recurring faults or advisories, the physical inspection should focus on the components subjected to high-mileage cycles. A buyer should verify the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as the high mileage puts significant stress on the chassis components. The brake discs and pads should be checked for uneven wear or thinning, given the high distance covered. While the Toyota hybrid system is generally robust, the absence of previous advisories for corrosion or tyre wear means the previous owner was likely proactive, but the high annual mileage warrants a thorough check of the CVT fluid and engine fluid levels.
