Our Verdict
Caution is advised; while the mileage is low for the age, the vehicle history shows a consistent pattern of neglect regarding tyres and visible bodywork damage that requires close inspection.
The primary focus for this vehicle should be the tyres. The MOT record shows a long history of perishing rubber, cracking, and sidewall damage, suggesting previous owners may have neglected basic maintenance. Ensure all four tyres are fresh and have adequate tread depth, as this has been a frequent failure point for this car.
Check the bodywork damage mentioned on the A-pillar and driver-side door. While the most recent MOT notes the A-pillar damage is 'not excessive', you should ensure there is no hidden rust or water ingress in these areas. Ask for a full hybrid health check to ensure the battery pack is performing correctly, as this is the most expensive component to replace on this model.
The Prius is highly efficient for city driving, benefiting from its 1.5L hybrid system which keeps fuel consumption low. Annual tax bands are generally low due to the hybrid status, and insurance groups for this age are typically mid-range.
Maintenance costs are generally predictable for Toyotas, but you should budget for potential hybrid battery replacement given the vehicle age. Expect an annual running cost of approximately £900-£1,200, covering fuel, tax, insurance, and routine servicing.
Inspect the set of tyres meticulously; the vehicle has a documented history of 'heavily perished' rubber and 'cracking badly inner/outer tread edges'. Look for signs of sidewall damage or bulges which have caused failures in previous tests.
Examine the driver-side door and the A-pillar where damage was noted. Check for mismatched paint or filler that might indicate poor repairs. Additionally, check the condition of the headlamps, as the car previously failed for fogged/product-covered lenses reducing light output.
This 2007 Toyota Prius has a relatively low mileage of 73,359 miles, which is significantly below the average for a nineteen-year-old car. However, the MOT history reveals recurring issues with tyre quality, including cracking, damage, and nails. There is also documented bodywork damage to the driver's door and A-pillar which should be assessed for structural integrity.
The 2007 generation Prius is known for its mechanical durability, though the hybrid battery and inverter can fail at this age.
