2015 Toyota Prius 1.8L Hybrid electric (clean) · MX65 XBL

The 2015 Toyota Prius presents as roadworthy, having passed the March 2 2026 MOT at 207,806 miles with no defects recorded. The recent clean result follows a series of passes since early 2025, indicating a stable maintenance record rather than a worsening or improving trajectory. The vehicle’s mileage has risen from 117,521 miles in March 2023 to 207,806 miles by March 2026, averaging 18,891 miles per year, which is high for an 11‑year‑old car. Notable accelerations occurred between February 26 2025 (197,592 miles) and August 25 2025 (200,129 miles), a 2,537‑mile gain in six months, and again from August 25 to September 3 2025, when mileage jumped 5,760 miles in ten days. An earlier rapid increase from September 5 2023 (125,862 miles) to February 27 2024 (147,819 miles) covered 21,957 miles in five months. Recurring faults centre on the suspension and braking systems: multiple entries flagged slight play in off‑side front lower suspension arm, track rod end and outer track rod end ball joints, and in near‑side front lower suspension arm ball joints, while anti‑roll bar linkage dust covers on both sides have repeatedly failed to prevent dirt ingress. Brake wear appears intermittently, with near‑side rear inner pads recorded as thin at 197,592 miles and no further brake defect notes in later tests, suggesting periodic replacement. Additional concerns include rear fog lamp failures, an inoperative rear reversing lamp, light oil misting on off‑side front shock absorbers, and tyre wear approaching the legal limit on several occasions. A buyer should therefore inspect the condition of all four suspension ball joints and track rod ends for play, verify the integrity of anti‑roll bar linkage boots, examine brake pad thickness and disc condition, test rear fog lamps and the reversing lamp, check shock absorber seals for oil leakage, assess tyre tread and sidewall condition, and confirm wiper blade performance, as these items reflect the most common mechanical and structural issues documented in the MOT history.
