2009 Toyota Prius 1.5L Hybrid electric · LR59 XAM

The vehicle presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 23 May 2026 at 23,165 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three prior tests from 2016 to 2019 also passed cleanly aside from minor non-mechanical notes. No worsening faults appear across the available history, and the absence of advisories in the latest examination suggests the car entered its current test in sound condition. Mileage data shows exceptionally low use for a 2009 registered car. The odometer read 17,458 miles at the 27 September 2016 test, then 21,377 miles in September 2017, 22,364 miles in September 2018, and 23,142 miles by 15 November 2019. After that, the record shows a near six-year gap before the 2026 test at 23,165 miles, meaning the car covered only 23 miles in that period. Such low annual averages of roughly 1,363 miles imply long standing periods, though the sparse record limits deeper wear analysis. The 2017 test flagged play in the nearside steering rack inner joint at 21,377 miles, a fault absent from later records and presumably rectified. A 2016 note recorded a child seat obstructing belt inspection, which carries no mechanical significance. Buyers should still verify steering rack condition and inner joints in person, given the earlier play and the car's age. Long idle time raises the risk of perished rubber components, corroded brake discs, and degraded suspension bushes despite clean tests. A physical inspection should confirm underbody structural integrity, brake caliper freedom, and tyre sidewall condition before purchase.
