2021 Toyota Proace Icon EV Electric · SL71 CPX

The 2021 Toyota Proace Icon EV presents a stable and improving maintenance trajectory, culminating in a clean pass at its most recent MOT on September 25, 2025, at 30,321 miles. The record shows zero defects at this latest inspection, indicating the vehicle currently meets all required safety and emissions standards. A same-day pass/fail anomaly occurred on September 20, 2024, at 22,794 miles, where an initial failure was immediately rectified and passed on the same day, suggesting a minor fault was swiftly addressed rather than ignored. The mileage accumulation aligns perfectly with typical light commercial or domestic use for a vehicle of this age, averaging roughly 6,064 miles annually. Between the September 2024 test at 22,794 miles and the September 2025 test at 30,321 miles, the van covered 7,527 miles over twelve months. This consistent, moderate usage pattern implies regular driving rather than prolonged standing, which benefits battery health and prevents the seizing of brake components or tyre flat-spotting common in idle electric vehicles. Despite the pristine MOT record, a physical inspection remains essential for an electric van of this age. Focus on the condition of the regenerative braking system's friction components, as EVs often suffer from binding calipers and corroded brake discs due to lack of regular mechanical use. Examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, alongside the structural integrity of the load floor and sills for any signs of corrosion. Check the tyre tread depth and sidewall condition, ensuring the rubber has not perished from standing if the mileage drops off unexpectedly. While the digital record is flawless, verifying the high-voltage battery's state of health and charging port condition will provide a complete picture of this EV's operational viability.
