2015 Toyota Prius 1.8L Hybrid electric (clean) · MM64 KTJ

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the most recent inspection indicates the onset of structural degradation after a period of clean records. In the June 2026 test at 392,552 miles, the tester identified corrosion on the rear subframe mounting area and rear suspension components. While these were not classified as excessive or seriously weakened, they mark a shift from the previous three years which showed no defects. The maintenance trend appears stable regarding mechanical failures, but the high mileage is now manifesting in age-related material wear. The mileage profile is exceptionally high, reflecting an average of over 35,000 miles per year across its eleven-year life. Between December 2023 and June 2026, the car covered nearly 77,000 miles, indicating intensive constant use. This rate of accumulation places significant strain on the hybrid drivetrain, suspension bushings, and braking system. The consistency of the testing intervals suggests the vehicle is used regularly for long-distance travel, though the proximity to the 400,000-mile mark means components are likely nearing the end of their service life. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the rear subframe and suspension wish arms to ensure the noted corrosion does not progress into structural failure before the next test. The fraying offside front seat belt webbing is a recurring issue, first noted in 2021 and again in 2026, which requires immediate replacement as it fails to meet safety standards. Given the previous failure in 2022 for low tyre tread, the current condition of all four tyres should be checked for uneven wear, which would indicate alignment issues or worn suspension components under this high mileage load.
