2010 Toyota Prius 1.8L Hybrid electric (clean) · BYZ 1039

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend over the last three years. The most recent test conducted in April 2026 at 55,694 miles resulted in a pass with only a minor advisory regarding a perished nearside front tyre. This follows two years of clean records in 2024 and 2025 where no defects were noted, suggesting the vehicle has remained mechanically sound during recent inspections. The mileage profile is notably low for a sixteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,500 miles per annum. Between March 2023 and April 2026, the car covered 14,699 miles, indicating a consistent low-mileage pattern. While this low mileage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, the infrequent use often leads to the degradation of rubber-based parts, which is evidenced by the cracking and perishing noted in the 2026 test despite the low overall distance. A buyer should pay close attention to the braking system, as the 2023 test at 40,995 miles flagged the park brake pedal for little reserve travel. Although this appears to have been addressed in subsequent tests, the low-frequency use can lead to caliper seizing or corrosion on the brake discs. Given the age of the Prius, a physical inspection should also verify the structural integrity of the chassis and check the suspension bushes, as these components age based on time and moisture regardless of the miles driven.
