2021 Toyota Corolla Icon HEV CVT 1.8L Hybrid electric (clean) · YR71 RKA

The vehicle maintains a clean roadworthiness status, evidenced by a perfect history of passes. The most recent inspection conducted in November 2025 at 167,252 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This indicates a stable maintenance trend where the previous owners have consistently kept the vehicle up to DVSA standards without any recurring mechanical failures or structural issues manifesting despite the heavy load on the chassis. The mileage profile is exceptionally high for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 33,450 miles per year. Between the November 2022 test at 42,130 miles and the November 2024 test at 118,081 miles, the car covered 76,000 miles in just two years. This rapid accumulation continued with an additional 49,000 miles recorded in the following year. This level of usage suggests consistent long-distance driving, likely fleet or commercial work, which places significantly higher stress on drivetrain components compared to a typical private vehicle. While the MOT record shows no recorded faults, a buyer must prioritise a physical inspection of components susceptible to high-mileage wear. Focus should be placed on the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers, which often degrade rapidly after 150,000 miles. The brake system should be checked for thin discs and worn calipers. Given the high thermal cycles of driving, checking for any signs of fluid leaks from the hybrid system or excessive wear on the CVT gearbox is essential to ensure the high mileage has not compromised the internal mechanical integrity.
