2010 Toyota Prius 1.8L Hybrid electric (clean) · LP59 BZS

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of passes over the last several years. The most recent MOT test on 30 July 2025 at 178,715 miles resulted in a pass with no defects, following a failure just two days prior at 178,684 miles. This specific failure sequence likely indicates a minor administrative error or a quickly rectified issue that was addressed immediately before the retest, as no specific defects were logged on the subsequent successful certificate. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent for a sixteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 11,170 miles per year. Between May 2022 at 147,444 miles and July 2025 at 178,715 miles, the car covered over 31,000 miles, maintaining a steady annual usage pattern. This regular use suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of standing, which is often beneficial for the health of the hybrid battery system and various rubber components in a Prius of this age. Given the clean MOT record devoid of structural advisories or recurring mechanical failures, a physical inspection should focus on high-mileage components that fall outside the standard testing scope. A buyer should scrutinise the rear suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, as these often degrade after 150,000 miles. It is also prudent to check for surface corrosion on the brake calipers and to verify the condition of the hybrid power system, as the MOT does not assess the operational efficiency of the high-voltage battery or the electric motor.
