2005 Toyota Prius 1.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · DA05 JVD

The vehicle presents a current roadworthy status following a passed MOT on 10 April 2026 at 134,608 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recent record. The April 2026 test passed with no defects recorded, though it was preceded by a failed attempt on the same date showing no listed defects, a pattern repeated on 9 January 2025 when a fail at 130,160 miles was followed by a pass at 130,164 miles with no faults noted. Such same-day fail-then-pass outcomes with blank defect fields suggest administrative or presentational anomalies at the testing station rather than progressive mechanical decline. Annual mileage sits at roughly 6,410 miles per year against the car's 2005 build, a typical figure for a 21-year-old vehicle. The record shows 125,268 miles in August 2023, rising to 130,164 by January 2025 and 134,608 by April 2026, equating to gentle annual accumulation of around 4,000 to 4,500 miles with no abrupt jumps. The DVSA data is sparse, containing only five entries and no advisories or recorded defects across any test, which limits insight into wear on consumables and structural items. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the car's age and the absence of any advisory history that might otherwise confirm prior attention. The hybrid drivetrain and exhaust emissions system warrant checks for degradation invisible to a clean MOT sheet. The repeated no-defect fails imply the tester may not have logged faults fully, so a independent assessment of structural integrity and corrosion around sills and subframes remains prudent before purchase.
