2017 Toyota Prius 1.8L Hybrid electric (clean) · ME17 DCY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 19 September 2025 at 92,977 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable but indicates a reactive approach to repairs rather than preventative care. While the car failed a test just one day prior at 92,812 miles due to a structurally failed nearside front tyre and a perished offside front anti-roll bar linkage, these issues were rectified immediately to achieve a clean pass shortly after. At 92,977 miles over nine years, the Prius has averaged approximately 10,331 miles per annum, which aligns closely with typical national averages for a vehicle of this age. The data shows a consistent usage pattern, with roughly 26,500 miles covered between the September 2023 and 2024 tests, and another 18,400 miles covered in the final year before the latest failure. This regularity suggests the vehicle has not been subject to long periods of standing, which is generally beneficial for the hybrid battery components and rubber seals. A buyer should inspect the front suspension components in person, as the 2025 failure highlighted a vulnerability in the anti-roll bar linkage dust cover. The 2023 advisory regarding front tyres worn close to the legal limit on the edges suggests the owner may delay tyre replacements until they reach a failure point. Given the mileage, a thorough check of the remaining suspension bushes and the condition of the brake discs and calipers is necessary to ensure no uneven wear has developed that the MOT tester did not flag. No structural corrosion or significant emissions issues have appeared in the record to date.
