2008 Toyota Prius 1.5L Electric · FL58 AET

The most recent MOT test in February 2023 at 382,256 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, confirming the vehicle was roadworthy at that point. The maintenance history shows no recurring faults across all entries, indicating a stable condition. The two failure records from January 2021 and January 2023 list no defects, which is unusual; this may stem from data omissions or swift repairs, but it prevents detailed trend analysis. The odometer reading of 382,256 miles on an 18-year-old vehicle equates to an average of over 21,000 miles per year, placing it in the high-mileage bracket. Recent annual mileage between tests has been around 6,000 to 7,000 miles, suggesting a reduction in use. The testing pattern is consistent with annual intervals, with no significant gaps. A buyer should arrange an independent inspection focusing on high-wear components. The suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs are likely to need assessment at this mileage. The hybrid traction battery is a critical item; its state of health requires specialist evaluation. Check for structural corrosion on the rear subframe and sills, as older vehicles can develop rust. The clean MOT record does not guarantee the absence of underlying mechanical wear.
