2018 Toyota Prius 1.8L Hybrid electric (clean) · DX18 EYA

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness with a remarkably stable and clean maintenance history. The most recent inspection conducted on 17 November 2025 at 45,144 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded. This continues a trend of clean-sheet passes, indicating that the mechanical and structural components have remained within acceptable tolerance levels without signs of recurring failure or deferred maintenance. The mileage pattern is notably low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,600 miles per year. The data shows a significant gap in usage between January 2024 and April 2024, where only 400 miles were recorded over three months. However, the vehicle covered 11,403 miles between April 2024 and November 2025, suggesting a return to regular use in more recent months. This low annual mileage generally reduces wear on the hybrid drivetrain and suspension components, though it can occasionally lead to brake spotting or tyre flat if the car sat stationary for extended periods. While the MOT record shows no mechanical faults, a physical inspection should focus on specific areas associated with low-mileage operation. Long periods of standing can cause rubber components like suspension bushes and sidewalls to perish or crack prematurely. The buyer should check the brake discs for corrosion or pitting, as low use often fails to clear rust from the rotors effectively. Given the age of the vehicle, verifying the health of the hybrid battery and checking for fluid leaks is also essential, as these elements are not covered by the standard MOT testing routine.
