2016 Toyota Prius 1.8L Hybrid electric (clean) · DC16 FCZ

The 2016 Toyota Prius presents a clean roadworthiness status with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 6 January 2026 at 93,700 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded. Every prior annual examination from 2021 through 2025 also passed with zero advisories, showing the vehicle has avoided any flagged mechanical or structural concerns across its recorded history. Annual mileage sits at a typical level for a ten-year-old car. The record shows 44,531 miles at the 23 November 2021 test, rising to 49,743 by 18 November 2022, then 57,672 on 4 January 2024, 75,041 on 6 January 2025, and 93,700 on 6 January 2026. That equates to roughly 9,370 miles per year with no standing gaps or sudden accumulation spikes. The DVSA data is sparse in volume but consistently clean, indicating the previous keeper kept the hybrid on a regular test cycle without lapse. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the unblemished MOT trail. The tester logged no corrosion, suspension bush wear, brake disc scoring, or exhaust emission faults at any stage, so no recurring defect pattern demands targeted investigation. Given the age, examine the hybrid battery cooling fan for blockage and check the front coil springs and wishbone bushes for age-related fatigue the annual test may not have surfaced. Verify the service book against the 18,000-mile intervals Toyota specifies for this model. The clean advisory record implies basic upkeep was not skipped, yet MOT passes alone confirm only minimum legal condition on test day. A pre-purchase health check of the inverter coolant and brake caliper slide pins remains sensible on a 93,700-mile Prius.
