2020 Toyota Prius 1.8L Hybrid electric (clean) · BD20 OUC

The vehicle's MOT record indicates a history of partial performance, with the most recent test on 2025-11-10 failing at 65,036 miles. This suggests that while the previous owner maintained the car, the current owner has not yet achieved a clean pass, implying a potential trend of worsening maintenance or a lack of consistent upkeep. The 2024-01-24 test on 46,878 miles failed due to a failed offside rear nail in the tyre, which is a consumable component requiring regular rotation and replacement. The fact that the 2023-02-15 test passed at 17,659 miles suggests that the owner skipped routine checks on this particular component, leading to a gap in the record. Regarding the mileage pattern, the vehicle has accumulated approximately 10,839 miles annually, which is consistent with its 2020 model age. However, the data is sparse and clean, with only two distinct MOT entries recorded. The rapid mileage accumulation without corresponding maintenance failures indicates that the owner may have driven the car extensively or maintained it lightly, which could lead to accelerated wear on suspension bushings, coil springs, or brake discs. The lack of a clean pass at the 2025 test suggests that while the car is still drivable, it lacks the structural integrity required for high-speed driving or heavy loads. Given the recurring faults, the buyer should inspect the car for structural integrity and mechanical wear. The offside rear nail in the tyre is a critical component that must be checked for corrosion and replacement if it is not in good condition. The supplementary restraint system warning lamp indicates a fault in the driver's seat, which is a significant structural risk requiring immediate attention. The suspension bushings and coil springs are likely to fail under the current mileage, and the brake discs should be inspected for corrosion or binding. The buyer must verify whether these issues are present in the vehicle they are purchasing and whether the owner has performed any necessary corrective work or maintenance to prevent further deterioration.
