2012 Toyota Prius 1.8L Hybrid electric (clean) · HJ62 PBU

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent inspection on 07 October 2025 at 139,367 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects recorded. While the history shows immediate failures on the same dates in both 2024 and 2025, the subsequent passes indicate that the owner is proactive in rectifying identified issues to meet legal standards rather than allowing faults to persist. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical usage for a fourteen-year-old Toyota Prius, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per annum. Between 12 October 2023 test at 116,841 miles and 07 October 2024 at 127,990 miles, the vehicle covered 11,149 miles. The following year saw another 11,377 miles covered. This steady accumulation suggests regular use, which helps prevent the premature degradation of rubber components and brake seals often associated with long periods of vehicle storage. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the specific areas that caused the failures in 2024 and 2025, as the record does not specify the exact mechanical cause for those rejects. Given the age and mileage, a thorough check of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and control arms is necessary as these are common points of wear on this model. Additionally, inspect the chassis for corrosion around the sills and exhaust mounting points to ensure the clean MOT history is not masking emerging structural rust issues.
