2015 Toyota Prius 1.8L Hybrid electric · BX15 VMH

The vehicle currently sits at 289,067 miles on a 2015 Toyota Prius, representing a significant gap between its 11-year age and the present day, with the most recent MOT test dated 2026-02-11. This test passed without defects, indicating that the mechanical integrity of the chassis and drivetrain is currently sound, though the vehicle has not been inspected since the previous year. The MOT history reveals a distinct pattern of maintenance that has been inconsistent over time. The most recent test in February 2026 passed, but the vehicle failed on 2026-02-11 due to an inoperative rear registration plate lamp, suggesting a potential issue with the rear lighting system or a lack of regular servicing. Earlier tests in February 2025 and February 2024 both passed, indicating that the vehicle has not been inspected since the previous year. This sequence suggests that the owner may have been absent during the periods of inspection, or that the owner has been absent since the previous year. Given the failure on 2026-02-11 and the fact that the vehicle has not been inspected since the previous year, a buyer should inspect the vehicle in person to assess the condition of the rear registration plate lamp and the rear suspension bushings. The failure on this date indicates that the rear suspension bushings are likely in poor condition, which is a critical structural component that should be inspected immediately to prevent further damage.
