2022 Toyota Prius 1.8L Hybrid electric · LK22 FEM

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT test on 18 September 2025 with 19,586 miles. The maintenance trend appears improving as the defects identified in the previous year have been addressed. The lack of any recorded defects in the latest report suggests that the immediate mechanical and safety concerns were resolved prior to the last inspection. The mileage pattern is notably low for a four-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,900 miles per annum. Between the October 2024 test at 19,177 miles and the Sept-ember 2025 test, the car covered only 409 miles in nearly eleven months. This low usage suggests the vehicle has been used sparingly, which typically preserves drivetrain and suspension components but can occasionally lead to flat-spotted tyres or brake corrosion if the car remains stationary for extended periods. The October 2024 test flagged both front and rear tyres as worn close to the legal limit and showing uneven edge wear. This specific fault often indicates an alignment issue or incorrect pressures rather than simple mileage. While the 2025 pass indicates these were replaced, a buyer should still inspect the current tyres for uniform wear to ensure the geometry remains correct and not prematurely consuming new rubber. Given the low mileage, a physical inspection should focus on the brake discs for surface pitting or seizing, which occurs on vehicles used infrequently. The MOT history shows no structural corrosion issues or fluid leaks, which is a positive sign for a Toyota of this age. Verify that the rubber components and suspension bushes are not cracking, as low-mileage cars can still suffer from age-related degradation of materials.
