2009 Toyota Prius 1.8L Hybrid electric (clean) · KS09 SSX

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status with a remarkably stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test on 20 November 2025 at 194,294 miles passed with no defects recorded, following a curious failure just five days prior at 194,291 miles. This sequence suggests a minor administrative or sensor-related failure that was rectified immediately before the re-test. Since the clean pass in October 2024, the vehicle has operated without recorded advisories, indicating a high level of mechanical consistency is maintained. At 194,294 miles, the Prius has averaged approximately 11,400 miles per year over its 17-year life, which aligns with typical UK domestic usage patterns. The data shows consistent usage intervals, with roughly 5,500 miles covered between the November 2023 and October 2024 tests, and 2,700 miles between October 2024 and November 2025. This regular mileage suggests the vehicle has been used steadily rather than sitting for long periods, which is generally beneficial for the seals and rubber components in a hybrid drivetrain. While the record is clean of recurring mechanical faults, the high mileage necessitates a thorough physical inspection of high-wear components. A buyer should specifically examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of premature fatigue, as these often degrade at this mileage bracket. Given the age of the vehicle, checking for structural corrosion on the sills and exhaust system is also vital to ensure the underbody integrity remains sound. The lack of recorded advisories implies the previous owners have been proactive, but the brake discs and calipers should be checked for thinning or uneven wear that a standard MOT test might not highlight.
