2020 Toyota Corolla Icon Tech HEV CVT 1.8L Hybrid electric (clean) · RO70 DVC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 15 July 2025 with 157,612 miles and no recorded defects. The maintenance trend appears stable, following a resolution of minor issues in previous years. While the history shows occasional failures on consumable items, the clean sheet from the latest test suggests that the previous owner addressed necessary wear-related repairs prior to the inspection deadline. The mileage profile is exceptionally high for a six-year-old vehicle, averaging over 26,000 miles per year. Between July 2024 and July 2025, the car covered 59,770 miles in just twelve months. This rapid accumulation indicates consistent long-distance motorway or fleet use, which places significant mechanical stress on the hybrid CVT system, suspension components, and braking assembly. The interval between tests remains consistent, suggesting the vehicle has been in regular use rather than sitting idle. A buyer should conduct a thorough in-person inspection of the front suspension and tyre geometry. The July 2024 test at 97,842 miles flagged an offside front tyre worn on the edge, which often indicates an alignment issue or worn suspension bushes. Given the high mileage, the physical condition of the brake discs and the presence of corrosion on the calipers is also critical. You should verify the hybrid battery health and cooling system for leaks, as the high annual mileage increases the likelihood of component fatigue on these components compared to an average private vehicle.
