Our Verdict
A strong recommendation for buyers seeki
When purchasing a Prius+ of this age, the primary focus should be on the health of the hybrid battery and the 1.8L engine's service history. While the MOT history is clean, it does not confirm the frequency of oil changes or hybrid system checks; therefore, you should request a full stamped service book to verify maintenance intervals.
Given the mileage is approaching 140,000, check for any signs of wear in the interior and ensure the hybrid system transitions smoothly between electric and petrol modes. Negotiate based on the age of the tyres and any upcoming major service milestones that may be due.
The hybrid electric powertrain is designed for efficiency, typically offering low fuel consumption in urban environments. Tax for this 2012 model is generally low due to its CO2 emissions, and insurance groups for the Prius+ are typically moderate, reflecting its status as a family-oriented vehicle.
Maintenance costs are usually manageable, although the high mileage means components like suspension bushings and brake discs may require attention. The estimated annual running cost, including fuel, tax, insurance, and routine maintenance, is approximately £1,100-£1,400.
Inspect the anti-roll bar and suspension components, as these are noted as common failure points across the wider Prius+ model aggregate data. Check the headlamps for clouding or failure and ensure all tyres have legal tread and no uneven wear, which is another common issue for this model.
Specifically for this vehicle, although the 2025 MOT was passed, a note was made regarding a child seat blocking the inspection of an adult belt; ensure all seatbelts retract and lock correctly. Finally, check the hybrid battery ventilation intake (usually located under the rear seat) for dust or blockages to ensure the system remains cool.
This 2012 black Toyota Prius+ is a high-mileage example that has remained consistent in its roadworthiness, passing all five of its most recent MOT tests. With 139,691 miles on the clock, it has covered slightly fewer miles annually than the model average. The absence of recorded defects in the recent MOT history suggests a vehicle that has met the required safety and emissions standards consistently.
The Prius+ has a strong reliability reputation, supported by an average MOT pass rate of 86.6% across analysed vehicles.
