2019 Toyota Prius 1.8L Hybrid electric (clean) · FY69 KWD

The vehicle presents a high level of immediate roadworthiness following its most recent MOT pass on 27 May 2026 at 157,707 miles, which recorded no defects. The maintenance trend appears exceptionally stable, as the vehicle has consistently passed inspections over the last several years without any recurring mechanical failures or structural advisories. Even the single failure recorded on 2 June 2025 at 126,038 miles was a minor non-mechanical issue regarding washer jet alignment, which was rectified immediately to secure a pass on the same day. The mileage accumulation is significant and indicates heavy usage. The vehicle has covered 157,707 miles in approximately seven years, averaging roughly 22,530 miles annually. The data shows a consistent and rapid increase in distance between tests, such as the 14,538-mile gap between the November 2025 and May 2026 tests. This high-frequency usage suggests the car has likely been used for long-distance commuting or professional driving rather than short urban trips. While the record is clean of major defects, this high mileage places increased stress on the hybrid drivetrain, suspension components, and braking system. A prospective buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers, as the high annual mileage often leads to premature wear in these areas. Although the MOT history shows no recorded issues with the braking system, the sheer volume of miles warrants a close check of the brake discs and pads for uneven wear or binding calipers. Given the heavy usage, checking the condition of the hybrid battery cooling system and ensuring there are no signs of excessive corrosion on the underside is also advisable.
