AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The 2021 Toyota Corolla Icon Tech HEV CVT is roadworthy, with the most recent MOT on 11 December 2025 at 76 013 miles passing without defects. The maintenance trend appears stable, as no faults were recorded in the three recent tests, indicating that the vehicle has been kept in acceptable condition up to the present date. At 76 013 miles the car has averaged about 15 200 miles per year, higher than the typical figure for a five‑year‑old vehicle. The jump from 51 739 miles in January 2024 to 69 135 miles in February 2025 represents 17 396 miles over 13 months, a period of intense utilisation. The subsequent 6 878 miles to December 2025 show a reduced rate, suggesting a change in usage or a period of lower mileage. The record is sparse but clean, with no recurring defects noted. A buyer should inspect the high‑wear components that are likely to have been affected by the elevated mileage. Verify the tyre tread depth and look for uneven wear that could indicate suspension or alignment issues. Check the brake pads, discs and calipers for any signs of binding or uneven wear, even though no faults were recorded. Inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking or softening, and confirm that the steering and braking systems are free from binding. Examine the exhaust system for corrosion and ensure the vehicle’s structural integrity remains intact, as high mileage can accelerate rust in the chassis or body panels.

Our Verdict

This Toyota Corolla Icon Tech HEV repres

Given the mileage of 76,013 miles, buyers should prioritize checking the service history to ensure the hybrid system and CVT gearbox have been maintained according to Toyota's schedule. While the MOT history shows no defects, the high mileage suggests a vehicle that has likely been used for significant commuting or long-distance driving.

When inspecting this specific Icon Tech trim, check the condition of the hybrid battery cooling vents and ensure the infotainment system is functioning correctly. Negotiate based on the fact that the mileage is significantly higher than the statistical average for a 2021 vehicle, which may affect future resale value.

As a hybrid electric vehicle, the Corolla Icon Tech is designed for fuel efficiency, particularly in urban environments. Tax bands for this 1798cc engine vary, but the hybrid nature often places it in a more economical bracket compared to pure petrol counterparts.

Maintenance costs for Toyota hybrids are generally predictable, though at 76,000 miles, you should budget for wear-and-tear items such as tyres and brake pads. The estimated annual running cost, covering fuel, tax, insurance, and routine maintenance, is approximately £1,400-£1,700 depending on annual mileage and insurance group.

Focus your inspection on the tyres and windscreen wipers, as these are identified as the top MOT failure reasons for this model aggregate. Even though this specific vehicle has no recorded defects, these are common consumables that may require replacement given the 76,013 miles covered.

Additionally, check the headlamp clarity and alignment, as headlamp issues are a frequent failure point in the wider Corolla data set. Finally, verify the condition of the hybrid system's electrical components and the smoothness of the CVT transmission during a test drive.

Registered in February 2021, this white Corolla Icon Tech HEV has covered 76,013 miles as of its last MOT in December 2025. While the mileage is higher than the model average of 14,341 per year, the vehicle has maintained a consistent pass record with no recorded defects since its first recorded test in 2024. It offers the efficiency of a 1798cc hybrid powertrain and meets Euro 6 AM emissions standards.

The Corolla model shows a high average MOT pass rate of 90.5% across 18,302 analysed vehicles, suggesting generally stable mechanical standards.
