2014 TOYOTA PRIUS1.8L HYBRID ELECTRIC

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a stable and clean maintenance history. The most recent inspection conducted on 30 January 2026 at 71,270 miles resulted in a pass with zero defects, mirroring the results of the previous three tests. This consistency suggests that the vehicle has been maintained to a high standard and lacks the recurring mechanical or structural failures common in older hybrids. The mileage profile is notably low for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,000 miles per year. There is a significant spike in usage between the November 2024 test at 24,212 miles and the June 2025 test at 43,642 miles, representing nearly 20,000 miles in just seven months. However, the usage returned to a lower frequency, covering only 25,000 miles between June 2025 and January 2026. This pattern indicates periods of heavy use followed by longer intervals of lower activity. While the MOT record shows no recorded faults, a buyer should still inspect components associated with low-mileage vehicles. Rubber-based parts can degrade over time regardless of distance travelled, so a physical check of suspension bushes, split boots, and tyre age is necessary. Given the hybrid nature of the Prius, also verify the brake discs for corrosion or seized calipers, which can occur if the vehicle sits for extended periods without frequent use.
