2023 Toyota Corolla Icon HEV CVT 1.8L Hybrid electric (clean) · YP73 UOL

As a 1.8-litre hybrid, this Corolla benefits from excellent fuel economy, particularly in urban environments, though motorway driving will see a slight increase in consumption. Road tax is generally favourable for this hybrid powertrain, and insurance groups for the Icon trim are typically reasonable for a family hatchback.

Maintenance costs should be relatively predictable, but be prepared for the higher frequency of tyre replacements given the mileage covered. Annual running costs, including fuel, insurance, and routine servicing, are estimated at £1,400–£1,700, depending heavily on your annual mileage and insurance profile.

Pay close attention to the tyres, as the 2025 MOT test noted wear on the offside front tyre. Ensure all four tyres are of a reputable brand and have sufficient tread depth, as the high mileage suggests they may have been replaced multiple times already. Inspect the windscreen for stone chips, which are common on high-mileage vehicles that spend significant time on motorways.

Check the brake discs and pads, which are identified as common failure points for this model in aggregate data. Even if they passed the most recent MOT, the high mileage means they may be nearing the end of their service life. Additionally, verify that all electronic features, including the hybrid display and infotainment system, are fully functional as these are complex systems to repair.
