2012 Toyota Prius 1.8L Hybrid electric (clean) · FN62 WVF

The 2012 Toyota Prius presents a stable and clean roadworthiness profile. The most recent test on 25 February 2026 at 167,177 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clear results across the available history. The maintenance trend shows no deterioration and no outstanding advisories at any stage. Annual mileage sits at roughly 11,941 per year against the 14-year age, a typical usage rate for this model. The records show steady accumulation: 135,010 miles in September 2022, 137,105 in March 2023, 143,950 in February 2024, 153,145 in March 2025, and 167,177 in February 2026. A six-month gap exists between the 2022 and 2023 tests, but the low incremental mileage of 2,095 over that period indicates light use rather than deferred testing. The DVSA data is sparse on faults, with every entry listing zero defects. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the high absolute mileage of 167,177. The hybrid drivetrain and HV battery warrant a diagnostic scan for cell degradation, as MOT tests do not assess electrical health. Structural underbody corrosion should be checked despite the absence of test-flagged rust. The clean record implies the previous owners kept basic statutory maintenance current, though no evidence exists of proactive component renewal beyond legal minimums. Treat the absence of advisories as a sign of passed tests, not a guarantee of component life remaining.
