2010 Toyota Prius 1.8L Hybrid electric (clean) · EX10 AED

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, maintaining a consistent record of passes in recent years. The most recent test in February 2026 at 87,635 miles resulted in no recorded defects, continuing a four-year streak of clean certificates since 2022. This trend suggests that the mechanical and structural components are currently being well-maintained or that the previous owner has addressed minor issues before they escalate into MOT failures. The mileage pattern is notably low for a sixteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,500 miles per year. Usage has remained consistent over the decade; for example, the car covered 7,359 miles between February 2025 and February 2026. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, it can sometimes lead to degradation of rubber components due to age. The MOT record reflects this in the 2020 test, where tyres were flagged for perishing and cracking, a common symptom of older vehicles with low annual mileage. A physical inspection should focus on the recurring brake wear issues identified in the history. The tester flagged the vehicle for thin front brake pads in both 2019 and 2021, indicating these are a known wear item. A buyer should verify the current thickness of the pads and discs and check for any glazing or uneven wear. Given the low mileage and the age of the vehicle, it is also vital to inspect the condition of suspension bushes, rubber hoses, and the hybrid battery battery cooling system, as these parts can show signs of dry rot or cracking despite the low distance travelled.
