2021 Toyota Corolla Icon Tech HEV CVT 1.8L Hybrid electric · NL71 PHN

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent inspection on 10 November 2025 at 58,388 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable and proactive, following a failure recorded just three weeks prior on 21 October 2025 at 57,527 miles. The immediate transition from a failure to a pass suggests that any mechanical or safety defects were identified and rectified promptly, leaving the car currently meeting all statutory safety requirements. At 58,388 miles over five years, the Corolla has averaged approximately 11,678 miles per annum. This figure is consistent with typical UK usage patterns for a hybrid vehicle, suggesting the car has not been subjected to excessive heavy commercial work or long periods of neglect. The accumulation of 861 miles between the October failure and the November pass indicates the vehicle remained in active use during the repair period, which is a standard indicator of a functional maintenance cycle. While the most recent test showed no defects, a buyer should verify the specific cause of the October failure at 57,527 miles to ensure the repair was comprehensive. Given the mileage, a physical inspection of the suspension components is advised, specifically checking for wear on the bushes or coil springs which can artwork to fatigue at this stage. Additionally, the brake discs and calipers should be examined for signs of binding or uneven wear, as hybrid systems can sometimes experience surface corrosion if the mechanical brakes are not frequently utilized compared to regenerative braking.
