2016 TOYOTA PRIUS1.8L Hybrid Electric (Clean)

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 26 February 2025 at 120,821 miles with no defects recorded, confirming it meets current roadworthiness standards. The maintenance trend is stable; each annual test over the past four years has resulted in a pass, and no new faults have emerged to indicate a worsening condition. Mileage accumulation has been consistent and relatively rapid for a 2016 model. Between the 2024 test (109,221 miles) and the 2025 test (120,821 miles) the Prius added 11,600 miles in just over twelve months, echoing earlier yearly rises of 8,000–10,000 miles. This pattern suggests intensive, year‑round use rather than long periods of inactivity, and the average of roughly 12,000 miles per year is above the norm for its age. A buyer should focus inspection on the recurring issues noted in the record. Two windscreen chips were logged under 3.2(a)(i) as not affecting driver sight lines; a close examination of the front windscreen for further damage or delamination is advisable. Tyre wear is a key concern—the 2020 test highlighted low inner‑edge pressure on the offside front tyre and inner‑edge wear on the nearside front tyre. Checking all four tyres for uneven tread, correct pressure, and signs of suspension misalignment will reveal whether the wear is due to suspension bush condition or alignment problems. Although no brake, suspension or drivetrain defects have appeared, the high mileage warrants a hands‑on check of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake disc condition. No structural rust has been reported, yet a visual scan of the underbody and wheel arches for corrosion is prudent before purchase.
