Our Verdict
This 2007 Toyota Prius requires careful inspection due to recurring corrosion issues and high mileage. Avoid if you're not prepared for potential underbody and brake system repairs.
Prioritise a detailed mechanical inspection of the undercarriage, focusing on brake pipes, rear chassis, and boot floor corrosion. Check for rust in the hybrid battery housing and inspect the brake system for leaks or wear. Verify service history for any repairs related to the corrosion issues. Negotiate the price based on the high mileage and recurring MOT failures. Be wary of potential hidden costs from rust-related damage, which could affect structural integrity over time.
The Prius's hybrid system offers good fuel economy (around 55-60 mpg), but older models may see reduced efficiency. Tax is likely £0 (zero-emission vehicle) and insurance group 15-18. Maintenance costs could be higher due to hybrid components and corrosion repairs. Annual running costs may range from £1,000-£1,200, including potential brake pipe replacements and rust treatment.
Inspect the nearside and offside rear brake pipes for grease contamination and corrosion, as these have failed multiple MOTs. Check the rear chassis and boot floor for structural corrosion within 30cm of mountings. Examine the underbody for rust, particularly around the suspension and exhaust. Test the rear stop lamps (failed in 2024) and verify the hybrid system's functionality. Look for signs of water ingress or dampness in the cabin, which could indicate undetected corrosion.
The 2007 Toyota Prius has a high mileage of 128,587 miles (above average for its age) and a MOT history showing persistent corrosion in brake pipes, rear chassis, and underbody components. While the hybrid system remains functional, repeated failures suggest possible long-term reliability concerns. Recent MOTs show minor issues like headlamp lens defects, but the corrosion problems are the primary red flags.
No aggregate data available for the Toyota Prius model, but this vehicle's MOT history indicates specific corrosion vulnerabilities not typical of the model's general reputation.
