2014 Toyota Prius 1.8L Hybrid electric (clean) · DF14 AEG

This Toyota Prius demonstrates an exceptionally stable roadworthiness trend. The most recent MOT on 26 July 2025 at 147,733 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of five consecutive years of clean passes, indicating a vehicle that has been maintained to a high standard despite its age. The mileage is high for a twelve year old vehicle, averaging over 12,000 miles per year. The accumulation has been rapid and consistent, with a notable jump of over 13,000 miles between the July 2021 test at 95,900 miles and the August 2022 test at 116,888 miles. Such high usage typically accelerates the wear of drivetrain components and suspension, yet the absence of any flagged defects across these intervals suggests a proactive approach to maintenance by the previous owner. A physical inspection should focus on high-wear consumables that the MOT test may not fully quantify. The buyer should check the depth of the tyre treads and the condition of the brake discs, as the high mileage increases the likelihood of imminent replacement. Examining the suspension bushes and coil springs for perishing or fatigue is also advisable given the total distance covered. The lack of any recorded corrosion or structural failures in the DVSA history is a positive indicator for a vehicle of this vintage. While the record is clean, a manual check of the hybrid battery health and a review of the service history for oil changes and coolant flushes would complete the due diligence for a high-mileage Prius.
