2010 Toyota Prius 1.8L Hybrid electric · MC 105

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status as evidenced by five consecutive pass results. The most recent inspection conducted on 14 August 2025 at 43,609 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that the car currently meets all safety and environmental standards. This follows a period of clean records in the preceding years, suggesting the vehicle has not suffered from significant mechanical or structural failures that would typically trigger an MOT fail. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a sixteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,726 miles per year. Between August 2021 and August 2025, the car covered only 15,590 miles, showing a consistent pattern of light use of roughly 3,900 miles annually. While this low mileage reduces the wear on the drivetrain and engine components, it introduces risks associated with age-related degradation of stationary parts. The only minor issue noted was a damaged windscreen in August 2024 at 38,530 miles, which did not indicate underlying mechanical neglect. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components that degrade through time rather than distance. Given the low mileage, the tester should check for seized calipers or perished brake discs due to lack of use. Rubber components, such as suspension bushes and tyre boots, should be inspected for cracking or dry rot, which often occurs regardless of miles driven. Additionally, the state of the hybrid battery and cooling system is critical, as these systems can age over sixteen years despite the low mechanical mileage recorded on the odometer.
