2014 Toyota Prius 1.8L Hybrid electric · KX64 DXJ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a clean MOT pass on June 3, 2026. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the only recorded failure occurred just five days prior on May 28, where it failed at 241,113 miles due to a perished offside front anti-roll bar ball joint dust cover. This defect was rectified immediately before the successful test, indicating that the owner is responsive to MOT failure requirements despite the high mileage of the car. The mileage accumulation is exceptionally high for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging over 20,000 miles per annum. Between December 2024 and June 2026, the car covered 59,398 miles in just eighteen months, representing a rate of nearly 4,000 miles per month. This intensive usage suggests the vehicle is likely used for long-distance commuting or commercial fleet work, which places significantly stress on the hybrid drivetrain, suspension components, and braking system compared to typical domestic use of a 2014 Prius. A prospective physical inspection must focus on the front suspension geometry, as the anti-roll bar linkage and associated bushings are already showing signs of wear. Given the rapid mileage growth, the buyer should check for uneven tyre wear and signs of leaking shocks or play in the steering rack. The record of a nail in the tyre in November 2025 at 222,351 miles is a minor consumable issue, but the overall high mileage necessitates a thorough check of the brake discs thickness and pads to ensure they are not nearing the end of their service life.
