2016 Toyota Prius 1.8L Hybrid electric (clean) · FY16 CVU

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile with a recent pass in May 2026 at 66,406 miles. While the overall history shows a consistent pattern of passing tests, the most recent inspection flagged wear on both front brake discs and cracking on both front tyres. These advisories indicate that the vehicle is entering a phase where consumable components require attention, though no major mechanical or structural failures have appeared in the records. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 6,600 miles per year. The data shows steady progression from 25,128 miles in March 2019 to the current 66,406 miles in May 2026. This gradual increase suggests regular, predictable usage rather than long periods of inactivity or heavy commercial use. The absence of significant mileage gaps between annual tests implies the car has remained in active service throughout its life. A prospective buyer should focus on the braking system and tyre condition during a physical inspection. The May 2026 report specifically noted pitted or scored front brake discs, so checking for excessive vibration under braking and ensuring the discs have sufficient thickness is necessary. The recurring issues with windscreen wipers and tyre wear seen in the 2020, 2022, and 2023 tests suggest the previous owners occasionally deferred basic maintenance until the MOT inspection. The history also highlights intermittent issues with suspension components, specifically an anti-roll bar ball joint dust cover in June 2023. While this was resolved, a thorough check of the front suspension bushes, ball joints, and steering linkages is advisable to ensure no further degradation has occurred. Given the recent advisory regarding tyre perishing, the age and manufacture date of the rubber should be verified to ensure they are not prone to sidewall cracking.
