2010 Toyota Prius 1.8L Hybrid electric (clean) · GV59 KPO

The vehicle presents a generally roadworthy profile with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test on 1 July 2025 at 108,778 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, following an inexplicable failure exactly one day prior at the same mileage. This immediate rectification suggests an administrative error or a minor technicality that was corrected instantly prior to the re-test. Since 2022, the car has maintained a clean record without advisories or failures, indicating a consistent level of mechanical oversight by the previous keepers. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent for a sixteen-year-old hybrid vehicle, averaging approximately 6,800 miles per annum. Between June 2022 at 85,386 miles and July 2025 at 108,778 miles, the vehicle covered 23,392 miles, representing a steady usage pattern of roughly 7,800 miles per year. This low-average mileage is typical for short-distance commuting, which generally places less strain on the hybrid battery system, braking components, and rubber-based suspension elements compared to high-mileage examples. While the MOT history is clean, the age of the vehicle necessitates a physical inspection of components prone to perish or fatigue. A buyer should verify the structural integrity regarding corrosion, particularly around the sills and rear mounting points where Toyotas of this era often begin to rust. Given the low mileage, the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs should be checked for cracking or perishing, as these degrade over time regardless of distance driven. Testing the hybrid battery health and cooling system is also vital, as the MOT does not assess the functional efficiency of the hybrid drivetrain.
