2021 Toyota Corolla Icon Tech HEV CVT 1.8L Hybrid electric · OV21 XTZ

The vehicle remains currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift from proactive to reactive care. While the most recent test in August 2025 at 93,652 miles passed, it introduced the first recorded advisories regarding tyre-related wear. This marks a departure from the clean records seen in 2024 and 2023, indicating that the high rate of use is now beginning to impact the vehicle's consumable components. The mileage accumulation is aggressive for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging nearly 19,000 miles per annum. A significant spike occurred between the August 2023 test at 15,085 miles and the August 2024 test at 54,983 miles, representing nearly 40,000 miles driven in a single year. This pattern suggests consistent long-distance or motorway-style usage, which places significantly higher stress on the hybrid drivetrain, suspension bushings, and braking system compared to average-mileage city examples. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension geometry and alignment, as the edge wear on the rear tyres noted in 2025 often indicates tracking issues or worn trailing arms. Given the high mileage, the brake discs and calipers should be checked for thinning or pitting, as hybrid systems can sometimes suffer from corrosion if not used frequently. The deteriorated registration plate also requires replacement to ensure legal compliance and avoid potential fines.
