2016 Toyota Prius 1.8L Hybrid electric · BF16 BYW

The vehicle maintains a clean record of roadworthiness, with the most recent MOT conducted on 2 October 2025 at 72,960 miles resulting in a pass with no recorded defects or advisories. This outcome confirms a stable maintenance trend, indicating that the car has been kept in a reliable condition over the last two annual inspections. The absence of any flagged issues during the 2024 and 2025 tests suggests that the primary mechanical systems are currently functioning within expected parameters. With a total of 72,960 miles over ten years, the vehicle averages approximately 7,300 miles annually, which aligns with typical usage patterns for a Toyota Prius. The mileage accumulation between the October 2024 test at 65,055 miles and the October 2025 test at 72,960 miles shows a consistent annual increase of roughly 7,900 miles. This steady usage profile is generally preferable to vehicles that have sat idle for extended periods, as it suggests regular operation of the hybrid drivetrain and supporting electrical components. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the condition of the brake discs and pads, as these consumables are often overlooked in clean MOT histories but may require attention based on the vehicle's age. While the MOT record is clear, you should verify the health of the hybrid battery and check for any signs of uneven tyre wear that might indicate underlying suspension misalignment. Inspect the underside for any early signs of surface corrosion on the subframes or exhaust system, as these areas often escape notice during standard testing until they reach a point of failure.
