2008 Toyota Prius 1.5L Hybrid electric · GP08 ABF

The MOT record for this 2008 Toyota Prius shows a clean and stable roadworthiness trend. The most recent test on 17 June 2025 at 264,684 miles passed with no defects, and the three preceding annual tests also recorded zero faults. The single failure on 20 June 2022 at 248,633 miles carried no listed defects, suggesting a minor administrative or procedural issue that was resolved the following day when the vehicle passed. Overall, the maintenance history indicates consistent upkeep with no recurring mechanical or structural problems flagged. The recorded mileage of 264,684 miles over 18 years equates to roughly 14,705 miles per year, which is above average and points to sustained high usage. The mileage increments between tests are steady, with annual increases of around 5,000 to 6,000 miles, reflecting regular daily driving rather than long periods of standing. There are no suspicious gaps or sudden jumps in the odometer readings. The pattern is consistent with a vehicle used for frequent commuting or motorway journeys. Given the high mileage and the absence of any advisory items in the MOT history, a prospective buyer should still conduct a thorough in-person inspection. Focus on suspension components such as control arm bushes and coil springs, which commonly wear at this mileage. Brake discs and calipers should be checked for binding or uneven wear. The hybrid battery health is critical; test its state of charge and look for any warning lights. Structural corrosion, particularly on the rear suspension mounting points and sills, warrants close examination despite no prior advisories. A professional pre-purchase inspection is strongly recommended.
