2018 Toyota Prius 1.8L Hybrid electric (clean) · AF68 YMU

The 2018 Toyota Prius presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 16 September 2025 at 25,314 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean results across four consecutive annual examinations. The mileage pattern shows consistently low use for an eight-year-old vehicle. From the 30 August 2022 test at 16,141 miles, the car covered just 2,678 miles to the 30 August 2023 test at 18,819 miles, then 3,423 miles to 19 August 2024 at 22,242 miles, and a further 3,072 miles to September 2025. This averages roughly 3,164 miles per year. The sparse, defect-free record gives no indication of neglected consumables or deferred repairs, though long stationary periods implied by low annual mileage can allow brake calipers to seize or tyres to develop flat spots. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of the hybrid braking system, given Prius models rely heavily on regenerative braking and the friction discs and calipers may see irregular use. Check the suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking from prolonged standing, and inspect the exhaust emissions system and underbody for corrosion despite the absence of advisories. The clean MOT history suggests a careful prior owner, but low-mileage Toyotas can hide perished rubber components that a road test would expose.
