2014 Toyota Prius 1.8L Hybrid electric (clean) · BW63 VXT

The vehicle holds a current MOT certificate valid until January 2027, indicating the car is roadworthy as of its last inspection. The maintenance trend shows a recent decline in condition, moving from two clean passes in 2025 to a test in January 2026 that identified specific component degradation. While the vehicle remains compliant with legal standards, the presence of these advisories suggests that routine preventative maintenance has become less rigorous as the vehicle ages. The recorded mileage of 65,014 miles over twelve years averages approximately 5,400 miles annually, which is notably low for a Toyota Prius. A significant spike in usage occurred between May 2025 and January 2026, where the vehicle covered nearly 17,000 miles in eight months. This sudden increase in activity following a period of minimal use often accelerates the wear of rubber components and braking systems that may have seized or perished during inactivity. Prospective buyers should prioritise a physical inspection of the rear brake discs, as the pitting and scoring noted in January 2026 suggest the friction surfaces are corroding or failing to clear properly during operation. The offside front tyre wear indicates a potential need for a wheel alignment check to prevent premature replacement. Given the vehicle's age and the recent surge in mileage, a thorough check of the hybrid battery health and the condition of the suspension bushes is recommended, as these items are prone to fatigue regardless of the low overall odometer reading.
