2022 Toyota Corolla GR Sport HEV CVT 1.8L Hybrid electric · VO22 LRF

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 1 June 2026 at 46,307 miles, confirming it is currently roadworthy. However, the recurring advisories on both front tyres—worn close to the legal limit and exhibiting edge wear—indicate a persistent maintenance issue that has not improved over time. The same tyre condition was flagged in the previous test, suggesting ongoing alignment or inflation neglect, and the absence of any corrective action raises concerns about underlying suspension or steering wear. The recorded mileage of 46,307 miles over approximately four years equates to an average of 11,577 miles annually, which aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. There is no evidence of irregular mileage spikes or long periods of inactivity; the gap between tests is consistent at 12 months, and the 14,242-mile increase between the 2025 and 2026 tests reflects normal annual use. The clean pass in both tests, aside from the tyre and brake disc advisories, suggests no sudden mechanical failures or unreported damage. The front tyres have been flagged in two consecutive tests, and the wear pattern points to misalignment, underinflation, or worn suspension components such as track rod ends or camber bushes. The rear brake discs, noted as worn, pitted, or scored in the 2025 test, have not been retested in 2026 but remain a likely candidate for imminent replacement, especially given the vehicle’s hybrid system’s regenerative braking may mask conventional brake wear until it becomes critical. A buyer should inspect the front suspension for uneven wear, check tyre pressures and alignment history, and verify the condition of the rear brake discs and calipers for binding or corrosion. The absence of structural rust or exhaust emissions failures is reassuring, but the repeated tyre and brake advisories signal a pattern of deferred maintenance that could escalate into safety risks if ignored.
