2012 TOYOTA PRIUS1.8L Hybrid Electric (Clean)

The vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 10 December 2025 at 80,785 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This clean bill of health follows a consistent pattern of passes without failure, suggesting the car has been kept in a condition that meets minimum legal standards without recurring mechanical faults. The mileage data contains significant anomalies that raise questions about the vehicle's history. While the current reading of 80,785 miles is low for a 2012 model, the records from April 2022 and October 2022 show readings of 222,487 and 245,653 miles respectively. These figures are vastly higher than the subsequent 2023, 2024, and 2025 entries. This discrepancy suggests either a major odometer correction, a clerical error during the 2022 tests, or a potential odometer rollback. A buyer must investigate the mileage discrepancy before purchase to determine the true wear on the drivetrain and hybrid battery. Because the MOT history is devoid of advisories, there is no data on the current state of suspension bushes, brake disc thickness, or underbody corrosion. Low-mileage hybrids often suffer from brake caliper binding or perished rubber components due to inactivity. Physical inspection should focus on the hybrid battery health and the condition of the 12V auxiliary battery. Check for signs of corrosion on the chassis and sills, as the MOT record does not explicitly mention structural integrity. Verify the service history to see if the oil changes align with the reported low mileage or the higher 2022 figures.
