2017 Toyota Prius 1.8L Hybrid electric · KY67 OUA

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance trend indicates a shift toward reactive rather than proactive servicing. The most recent test conducted in September 2025 at 83,811 miles highlighted an advisory for thin rear brake pads measured at 3mm. This follows a clean record in 2024, suggesting that while the vehicle is mechanically compliant, certain consumable components are now reaching the end of their service life and require immediate attention. The mileage pattern is consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,300 miles per year. Between October 2021 at 45,234 miles and September 2025 at 83,811 miles, the car covered 38,577 miles. This steady accumulation suggests regular use which typically avoids the risks associated with long periods of standing, such as seized brake calipers or fluid degradation, though it does explain the wear on the suspension and rubber components noted in the history. A buyer must perform a thorough inspection of the front suspension and alignment due to recurring tyre issues. In both 2022 and 2023, the tester flagged front tyres for wearing on inner edges and signs of perishing or damage. This pattern often points to incorrect camber settings, worn bushes, or failing ball joints that are causing uneven tyre scrub. The buyer should also verify the state of the rear braking system, as the 3mm measurement in the latest report indicates that replacement is imminent to avoid damage to the discs.
