2009 Toyota Prius 1.8L Hybrid electric (clean) · FL59 HAA

The 2009 Toyota Prius presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 3 October 2025 at 160,314 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the three prior annual tests from 2022 to 2024 also passed clean. The only blemish is a failed test on 22 September 2023 at 152,032 miles that was immediately retested the same day and passed with no defects noted, suggesting an administrative or minor non-mechanical rejection rather than a serious fault. Annual mileage sits at roughly 9,430 miles, typical for a 17-year-old vehicle. The records show steady accumulation: 148,370 miles in September 2022, 152,032 in September 2023, 157,296 in September 2024, and 160,314 in October 2025. No gaps or sudden jumps appear. The clean advisory history across all five entries indicates previous owners kept the car to a basic pass standard with no flagged wear on tyres, brakes, suspension, or corrosion. Given the sparse and clean record, a buyer should still verify in person the items a test certificate does not capture. At 160,000 miles the hybrid battery, engine coolant, and transmission fluid are due for inspection regardless of MOT outcome. The same-day fail and pass in September 2023 warrants a check of the DVSA reason code if available, though no defects were listed. Suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs should be physically examined for fatigue not yet severe enough to record. Structural underbody corrosion is common on this age of Toyota and the MOT shows no advisories, but a ramp inspection remains prudent before purchase.
