2021 Toyota Corolla Icon HEV CVT 1.8L Hybrid electric · YN21 NDB

The vehicle maintains a clean roadworthiness status, evidenced by the most recent MOT test in February 2026 at 136,808 miles which returned no defects or advisories. This reflects a stable maintenance trend, as the car has consistently met minimum safety standards across the last three recorded inspections. The absence of recurring failures suggests that the primary mechanical and structural components are currently within acceptable operating parameters. The mileage profile is exceptionally high for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging over 27,000 miles per year. A significant surge in usage occurred between the August 2024 test at 10,606 miles and the March 2025 test at 115,721 miles, representing a heavy workload of over 105,000 miles in just a seven-month period. Since the March 2025 inspection, the car has covered another 21,087 miles to reach the February 2026 figure of 136,808 miles. This rapid accumulation places substantial demand on wear-related components compared to average private use. Given the high-mile history, a physical inspection must focus on the longevity of the suspension and braking systems. The buyer should check for signs of worn bushes, ball joints, and coil springs which often degrade under high-frequency use. The brake system requires a close look for thin discs or signs of caliper sticking, as the mileage suggests significant thermal stress on the friction materials. While the MOT record shows no immediate failures, the sheer volume of miles increases the likelihood of accelerated wear on the hybrid drivetrain components and bushings that are not fully covered by a standard MOT test.
