2021 Toyota Corolla Icon HEV CVT 1.8L Hybrid electric (clean) · NG21 AFV

The MOT record for this 2021 Toyota Corolla presents a remarkably clean history, with every annual test resulting in a pass and zero defects or advisories recorded. The most recent pass on 18 December 2025 at 107,202 miles is particularly telling, as it followed a failure the previous day at 107,092 miles with no defects listed, suggesting a clerical or minor procedural issue was resolved instantly. Overall, the maintenance trend is stable and exemplary, indicating the vehicle has been consistently presented in a roadworthy condition without any developing mechanical or structural concerns flagged by testers. The mileage accumulation is high for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 21,440 miles per year. The pattern shows steady, heavy use: from 22,405 miles in January 2023 to 52,673 miles in January 2024, then 75,272 miles in December 2024, and finally 107,202 miles by December 2025. This consistent annual increase of around 25,000 to 30,000 miles points to sustained motorway or long-distance driving rather than stop-start urban use, which can be less taxing on the engine and hybrid system but harder on tyres, brakes, and suspension components. Given the high mileage and the absence of any recorded faults, a prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on wear items that typically degrade with distance. Examine the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of sagging or cracking, and check the brake discs for lipping or scoring, as binding calipers can develop silently. The hybrid system’s battery health and the CVT transmission’s behaviour under load are also critical at this mileage, though the clean MOT record suggests diligent servicing. A thorough check of the tyre tread depths and any signs of uneven wear will confirm whether the previous owner maintained basic upkeep as rigorously as the test results imply.
