2010 Toyota Prius 1.8L Hybrid electric (clean) · DU10 EOH

This vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 20 January 2026 at 200,297 miles passed without any defects or advisories. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to August 2022, suggesting the car has been maintained to a standard that meets minimum legal requirements without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage is high for a 2010 model, averaging roughly 12,519 miles per year. Between the August 2022 test at 197,237 miles and the January 2026 test at 200,297 miles, the vehicle covered 3,060 miles over approximately three and a half years. This indicates a significant drop in usage recently compared to its historical average, which may suggest the car has spent periods standing or has transitioned to very light local use. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on high-wear components typical for a vehicle exceeding 200,000 miles. While the MOT record is remarkably clean, the absence of advisories on brake discs, pads, and suspension bushes is unusual for this mileage. You should manually check for play in the steering rack and inspect the underside for structural corrosion, as these are common failure points for this age of Prius that may not always be flagged if the vehicle is cleaned before testing. Given the recent low usage, check the health of the hybrid battery and the condition of the tyres for flat spots or perishing. The failure on 2 November 2023, which was resolved within six days at 198,035 miles, does not indicate a systemic mechanical issue but suggests a minor defect was corrected immediately. Focus on the drivetrain and suspension damping to ensure the high cumulative mileage has not degraded the ride quality.
