2021 Toyota Corolla Icon Tech HEV CVT 1.8L Hybrid electric · SC21 VRZ

The vehicle maintains a high standard of roadworthiness based on the available MOT history. The most recent test conducted on 5 January 2026 at 60,394 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This indicates a stable maintenance trend where the previous owners have successfully kept the vehicle within regulatory standards without recurring mechanical or structural failures across the last three inspection cycles. The mileage pattern reflects consistent and heavy usage, averaging approximately 12,000 miles per year over the five-year period. Between the January 2024 test at 27,544 miles and the January 2025 test at 44,222 miles, the car covered 16,678 miles, followed by another 16,172 miles prior to the January 2026 test. This regularity suggests frequent motorway or open driving rather than short trips, which is generally beneficial for hybrid battery health and brake components to prevent excessive corrosion. While the MOT records are clean of recorded faults, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on components subject to wear at this higher mileage bracket. Inspect the suspension assembly, specifically control arm bushes and coil springs for premature fatigue or cracking, as high annual mileage puts significant stress on these parts. Check the brake discs and pads for uneven wear or thinning, even though the tester did not flag binding calipers in recent tests. Given the hybrid powertrain, verify there are no warning lights regarding the hybrid system to ensure the high-mileage usage has not stressed the cooling of the high-voltage components.
