2014 Toyota Prius Plus 1.8L Hybrid electric (clean) · LJ64 KWN

The vehicle shows a stable roadworthiness status following a clean pass on 27 July 2026 at 311,293 miles. While the recent history shows no current defects, the record reflects a pattern of intensive use and a history of addressing consumable wear. The maintenance trend appears to be resolving, as the recent tests in 2025 and 2026 show no advisories or failures, suggesting that previous mechanical issues have been rectified. The mileage accumulation is exceptionally high, averaging approximately 26,000 miles per year over its twelve-year lifespan. The data shows heavy, consistent usage, particularly between May 2023 and June 2024, where the vehicle covered over 26,000 miles. This rapid accumulation is evident in the frequent testing intervals, such as the two tests recorded in early 2025. Such high mileage places significant stress on the drivetrain and suspension components, though the lack of recent failures suggests the vehicle has been maintained to keep up with this demand. A prospective buyer should focus on the braking system and steering components during a physical inspection. The record shows recurring issues with brake discs and pads, specifically noted in May 2023 and November 2023. Although these were passed, the repeated mention of worn or pitted discs suggests the braking hardware undergoes frequent replacement. The tester also flagged slight free play in the steering rack in November 2023 and play in the front inner track rod end joints in May 2023. Suspension integrity warrants careful scrutiny. The November 2023 test identified light oil misting on the offside front shock absorber. While this did not cause a failure, it indicates potential seal wear. Given the high mileage, the buyer should check for any signs of leaking dampers or worn suspension bushes. The history of tyre tread depth failures in May 2023 implies that previous owners occasionally deferred basic consumable maintenance, so a thorough check of current tyre condition and alignment is necessary.
