2016 Toyota Prius Plus 1.8L Hybrid electric · HX66 HKA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its latest MOT on 23 December 2025 with 112,874 miles. The maintenance trend shows a pattern of reactive care where the owner addresses specific failures immediately following a test result. While the December 2025 test failed due to headlamp aim issues, the subsequent pass without recorded defects indicates these were rectified, suggesting a currently stable mechanical state despite the intermittent failures. The mileage profile is consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 11,300 miles per year. There is a significant gap of 29,342 miles between the December 2024 test at 83,532 miles and the December 2025 test at 112,874 miles. This high rate of use suggests the car is driven regularly, which typically helps prevent internal engine issues associated with long periods of standing. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension and braking systems based on previous failures. The May 2025 test flagged a severely deteriorated nearside front anti-roll bar ball joint dust cover and low brake fluid levels. While these issues were cleared, the recurring nature of headlamp aim failures across two consecutive tests suggests potential vibration or loose mounting hardware that warrants checking. Inspect the rubber boots on the suspension components for cracks and check for any brake fluid leaks to ensure the low level noted in early 2025 was not a symptom of a persistent fault.
