2021 Toyota Corolla Icon Tech HEV CVT 1.8L Hybrid electric · SA71 ACF

The vehicle exhibits a stable roadworthiness trend, with the most recent 2026-01-21 MOT confirming no defects at 102,316 miles. Previous tests from 2025 and 2024 also showed no issues, indicating consistent maintenance. The absence of advisories or failures across five consecutive MOTs suggests the car has been well-maintained, with no emerging mechanical or structural concerns. The mileage progression reveals a high annual average of ~20,463 miles, with significant jumps between tests. From 56,645 miles in January 2024 to 80,281 miles in January 2025, and then to 102,316 miles in January 2026, the vehicle has accumulated over 23,000 miles annually. This rapid accumulation may accelerate wear on consumables like tyres, brake pads, and suspension components, though no such issues were recorded. The sparse defect history does not indicate systemic problems but warrants scrutiny of high-mileage wear points. A buyer should inspect the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs for signs of fatigue, given the vehicle’s usage pattern. The exhaust system and corrosion risks, particularly in coastal or high-humidity areas, should also be checked. While the MOT records show no structural integrity issues, the high mileage implies potential hidden wear in drivetrain components. A pre-purchase inspection focusing on these areas will confirm the car’s continued reliability.
