2012 Toyota Prius 1.8L Hybrid electric · FP62 YRN

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having achieved a clean pass in January 2026 at 204,029 miles. The maintenance trend shows signs of improvement following a period of instability in mid-2025. While the car previously failed due to minor lighting issues and a compromised offside front anti-roll bar linkage, the most recent inspection indicates these faults were addressed, bringing the vehicle to a state with no recorded defects. At over 204,000 miles, this Prius reflects a high-mileage profile averaging approximately 14,500 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage patterns, notably the 8,540 miles covered between the June 2025 and January 2026 tests. This regular accumulation suggests the vehicle has been used frequently, which is often preferable for hybrid components and seals than long periods of inactivity. The lack of long gaps between tests reduces the risk of seized components or perished rubber parts associated with stationary vehicles. A buyer should focus their in-person inspection on the front suspension given the recurring issues with the anti-roll bar linkages. The record notes slight play on the nearside front in January 2025 and a failed dust cover on the offside in June 2025, so one should check all ball joints and bushings for further signs of accelerated wear. Additionally, although the March 2025 test flagged the brake discs as not excessively worn, the high mileage means the braking system is likely nearing the end of a service cycle and requires a thorough check for thinning or caliper corrosion.
