2018 TOYOTA PRIUS1.8L Hybrid Electric (Clean)

The 2018 Toyota Prius presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 28 August 2025 at 56,353 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the three prior annual tests from 2022 to 2024 also passed cleanly. The only blemish is a failure logged on 31 August 2022 at 32,087 miles, reversed the very next day on 1 September 2022 at 32,088 miles with no defects listed, indicating a likely administrative or non-mechanical rejection rather than a genuine fault. Annual mileage sits at roughly 7,044 miles, typical for an eight-year-old vehicle. The records show steady, low accumulation: 32,088 miles in September 2022, 41,472 in August 2023, 50,420 in August 2024, and 56,353 in August 2025. No rapid jumps or standing gaps appear. The clean pass history across four years suggests the previous keeper kept basic consumable and mechanical upkeep current, though the sparse advisory data limits deeper wear inference. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the car's age and light use, as low mileage can mask perished rubber or corroded calipers unseen in a fault-free MOT. The 2022 same-week fail-pass pair warrants a check of the DVSA refusal reason to confirm no suppressed defect. No recurring structural or mechanical faults emerge from the record. The Prius requires only standard pre-purchase checks: underbody corrosion, hybrid battery health, and tyre sidewall condition.
