2021 Toyota Corolla Design HEV CVT 1.8L Hybrid electric (clean) · RF21 ABU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 13 April 2026 at 57 984 miles, but the test recorded advisories on both front tyres: the nearside shows wear close to the legal limit (5.2.3 (e)) and the offside exhibits cracking or perishing (5.2.3 (d)(ii)). After a failure in May 2024 due to exposed cords on the offside front tyre, the car was retested in June 2024 and passed, then remained defect‑free through 2025. The recurrence of tyre wear in the latest test indicates a stable but progressively deteriorating condition of the tyre assembly, with no new mechanical faults emerging. Mileage accumulation over the five‑year life of the 2021 Corolla Design Hybrid is steady at roughly 11 600 miles per year, a typical figure for its age. The MOT record shows a rapid re‑test in June 2024 (only 127 miles after the failure) followed by a 3 062‑mile increase to 53 237 miles by April 2025 and a further 4 747‑mile rise to the current 57 984 miles by April 2026. No unusual gaps or spikes in mileage are evident, and the data set is otherwise clean. A prospective buyer should inspect the front tyre condition closely, checking tread depth, edge wear on the nearside, and any cracking or perishing on the offside. Uneven wear may signal suspension bush wear or wheel‑bearing issues, so examine those components for play or corrosion. Verify brake disc thickness and pad wear patterns for uniformity, and look for rust or corrosion on wheel arches and the underbody. Finally, request service records to confirm that the 2024 ply‑exposure was properly addressed and to ensure any tyre replacements or suspension work have been carried out.
