The 2022 Toyota Corolla Icon Tech HEV CVT is significantly more reliable than the UK average, with an 89.5% first-time MOT pass rate well above the 80% benchmark. Only 3% of vehicles have ever recorded a dangerous defect, which is reassuringly low and suggests strong build quality across this hybrid cohort.

At just over 33,000 miles median for a two-year-old car, these vehicles are running relatively light, and the 0.13 average failures per test indicates very few serious mechanical issues are emerging. The 0.8 advisories per vehicle suggest minor wear is appearing as expected, so when you're shopping for one, request the full MOT history and have your mechanic focus on any suspension or fluid-related advisories that have accumulated.

What to check before buying a 2022 Toyota Corolla Icon Tech HEV CVT

Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.

  • 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
  • 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
  • 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
  • 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
