2012 Toyota Prius 1.8L Hybrid electric (clean) · CY62 DFP

The 2012 Toyota Prius presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 9 July 2025 at 142,112 miles passed with no defects recorded, continuing a clean run across all five available MOT entries. No advisories or mechanical faults appear in the history, indicating the vehicle has not required corrective work within the recorded test cycle. The mileage pattern shows typical use for a 14-year-old vehicle. Annual averages sit near 10,151 miles, but the record reveals a sharp accumulation between late 2023 and mid-2025. The 21 November 2023 test logged 104,645 miles; by 31 July 2024 the odometer read 105,628 miles, then jumped to 142,112 miles by July 2025. That 36,000-mile surge in under twelve months suggests a period of heavy commuting or high-distance driving after years of low annual use. Prior to that, the car covered only around 4,200 miles between November 2022 and November 2023. The absence of recorded defects limits pre-purchase concerns to standard consumable wear. No suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, or structural corrosion were flagged at any test date. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of the hybrid battery cooling system and underbody for rust, as MOT tests do not assess high-voltage component health. Given the clean advisory history and recent high-mileage use, focus the viewing on tyre tread depth, wiper condition, and brake caliper operation. The previous owner maintained statutory test compliance but the 2024 to 2025 mileage spike warrants verification of fluid changes and suspension fatigue not captured by pass-only records.
