2020 Toyota Prius 1.8L Hybrid electric (clean) · BX15 VMG

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive rather than preventative care. The most recent test on 13 September 2025 at 108,026 miles initially failed due to a thin rear brake pad, an inoperative rear plate lamp, and a worn offside rear tyre. While the vehicle passed upon immediate retest, the presence of these faults indicates that the owner is only addressing issues once they trigger a failure rather than performing scheduled maintenance. The mileage pattern is consistent with an 11-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per year. There is a significant gap of 21,854 miles between September 2024 (86,172 miles) and September 2025 (108,026 miles), indicating a period of high usage during that year. Conversely, the interval between October 2023 and 2024 saw much lower accumulation of only 3,859 miles, suggesting the car sat or was used infrequently during that period. A buyer should physically inspect the braking system and tyres, as the 2025 failure flagged thin rear pads and an unevenly worn tyre. The 2024 advisory also noted perishing on both front tyres, which suggests the vehicle may have sat stationary for long periods, leading to rubber degradation despite sufficient tread depth. Check the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, as the record shows no structural failures to date, but the high-mileage intervals put significant stress on these components.
