2014 Toyota Prius 1.8L Hybrid electric (clean) · KF64 GCY

The vehicle appears to be in a stable roadworthiness state following the most recent test on 1 May 2025. While the record shows two instances of failure immediately preceding a pass—specifically in May 2024 and May 2025—the lack of recorded defects during those failures makes it difficult to pinpoint the exact mechanical cause. However, the fact that the vehicle passed both times suggests that the issues were resolved promptly, indicating a consistent approach to maintaining the MOT standard. The mileage accumulation is significant, with the car covering 201,736 miles over its 12-year lifespan. This averages to approximately 16,811 miles per year, which is high for a petrol-hybrid vehicle and suggests heavy, consistent use rather than short, urban trips. The jump from 87,219 miles in April 2023 to 147,208 miles in May 2024 shows a rapid increase of nearly 60,000 miles in a single year. This high-mileage profile places considerable stress on the hybrid battery system, suspension components, and the drivetrain. A prospective buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the underbody to check for structural corrosion, which often affects high-mileage vehicles. Given the high annual mileage, the condition of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers should be scrutinized for signs of fatigue. It is also prudent to check the brake discs and calipers for uneven wear or binding, as the heavy usage pattern often leads to accelerated wear on these consumables. Finally, the hybrid battery health and the cooling system should be verified. While the MOT record is clean of structural or emissions faults, the sheer mileage suggests that major mechanical components are nearing the end of their typical service life. An inspection of the tyre tread depth and the condition of the wiper blades is also recommended to ensure basic upkeep has been maintained alongside the more significant mechanical repairs.
