2016 Toyota Prius 1.8L Hybrid electric (clean) · BF16 BYU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a recent shift toward reactive repairs. In the most recent test on 21 November 2025 at 108,990 miles, the car initially failed due to a structural failure in the offside front tyre and corrosion on the nearside rear brake disc. While the vehicle passed immediately following these repairs, the presence of these faults indicates that components are being addressed once they reach failure points rather than through preventative maintenance. The mileage pattern is consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 11,000 miles per year. There is a significant gap in data between the June 2025 test at 69,823 miles and the November 2025 test at 108,990 miles, representing an accumulation of nearly 40,000 miles in just five months. This rapid usage likely placed accelerated wear on consumables and suspension components, which explains the sudden failure of the tyre and brake hardware noted during the latest inspection. A buyer should prioritize inspecting the braking system and suspension. The tester flagged the nearside rear brake disc as worn and pitted in November 2025, and the buyer must verify if the opposite side and pads were replaced simultaneously to ensure even braking. Given the high-mileage burst between the last two tests, a thorough check of control arm bushes and shock absorber seals is essential, as these components often degrade rapidly on Prius models under heavy use.
