2026 Toyota Prius 1.8L Hybrid electric (clean) · LW21 GDK

A consistent record of clean roadworthiness defines this vehicle, with the latest MOT pass on 07 September 2026 showing no defects or advisories. The testing history demonstrates a stable pattern of compliance across the two recorded inspections in 2026, indicating that all tested components, from exhaust emissions to structural integrity, met the required standards at the time of examination. The mileage of 16,120 miles recorded at the time of the most recent test suggests a relatively high rate of accumulation for a vehicle of this age. Given the proximity of the two tests in August and September 2026, the usage pattern appears to be active, which typically correlates with regular mechanical operation of the hybrid powertrain and braking systems. This level of mileage means that while the vehicle is modern, the wear on consumable items such as tyres, brake pads, and suspension bushes will be more advanced than a lower-mileage equivalent. Because the MOT history contains no recorded advisories or failures, there are no specific mechanical defects to target for inspection. However, given the mileage profile, a physical inspection should focus on the condition of the brake discs and pads for uneven wear, and a check of the suspension linkages to ensure there is no premature play in the bushes or coil springs. On a test drive, pay close attention to any unusual knocks or knocks when traversing uneven surfaces, which could indicate wear in the suspension components, and monitor for any steering pull or vibrations through the pedal that might suggest issues with wheel alignment or braking hardware.
