Our Verdict
A strong recommendation for buyers seeki
Prospective buyers should note the significant increase in usage recently, as the vehicle covered approximately 35,000 miles between August 2025 and July 2026. It is essential to verify that the service intervals were adhered to during this period of high intensity to ensure the engine and hybrid system remain healthy.
Check for a documented hybrid health check, as the vehicle has now exceeded 120,000 miles. Negotiate based on the upcoming need for wear-and-tear items that typically coincide with this mileage threshold, such as suspension bushings or brake fluid refreshes.
Equipped with a 1.8L hybrid engine and Euro 6 status, this vehicle offers strong fuel efficiency and is compliant with most UK low-emission zones. Insurance costs are typically moderate for this model, and the regenerative braking system often extends the life of brake components.
Given the high annual mileage seen in the recent history, fuel expenditure will be the primary cost. Maintenance costs for the Prius are generally stable, though the hybrid battery is a long-term consideration for vehicles of this age.
While this specific vehicle's MOT history is clean, aggregate data for the Prius indicates that anti-roll bars, headlamps, and drive shaft joints are common failure points; these should be physically inspected. Ensure the offside rear fog lamp, which caused a failure in August 2025, is functioning correctly.
Due to the high mileage covered in the last year, pay close attention to tyre tread depth and the condition of the suspension. Check for any signs of wear on the interior upholstery, which often reflects the high usage seen in the odometer readings.
This 2016 white Toyota Prius has recorded 120,913 miles, which is slightly below the model average for its age. Its MOT history is relatively clean, with only one failure recorded for a rear fog lamp in 2025. The most recent test in July 2026 was passed without any defects.
The Prius maintains a strong reliability reputation, evidenced by an 83.9% average MOT pass rate across nearly 140,000 analysed vehicles.
