2011 Toyota Prius 1.8L Hybrid electric (clean) · G1 AMK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a pattern of reactive rather than proactive mechanical care. While the most recent test in July 2025 at 66,645 miles resulted in a pass, several structural and wear-related issues persist across multiple years. The trend remains stable in terms of passing the test, yet the recurring presence of corrosion and thinning brake components suggests that parts are only addressed when they reach a point of failure or advisory threshold. The mileage profile is notably low for a fifteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,400 miles per year. There is a significant jump in usage between July 2023 (43,248 miles) and July 2024 (53,678 miles), representing over 10,000 miles in a single year. This low annual mileage explains the visible degradation of rubber components, such as the perishing and cracking noted on the rear tyres, which often occurs when vehicles sit stationary for long periods between uses. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the front sub-frame and rear coil springs, as corrosion has been flagged consistently since at least 2023. The tester noted the sub-frame was corroded but not yet weakened, yet structural rust on low-mileage cars can progress rapidly if left untreated. Additionally, the history shows recurring issues with brake pads and discs, including a failure in 2023 and 2024 due to thin material. The buyer should verify the current state of the brake system and ensure the suspension components have actually been replaced since the previous advisories were issued.
