2013 Toyota Prius 1.8L Hybrid electric (clean) · OW13 HPV

The December 2024 MOT at 201,333 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, confirming current roadworthiness, although the same day's failure for insufficient washer liquid (3.5 (a)) shows a recent corrective measure. The record shows a mixed maintenance history, with earlier failures on tyres, brakes and registration lamps giving way to a clean result in the latest test, indicating an improving trend. At 13 years old, the vehicle has accumulated 201,333 miles, averaging 15,487 miles per year, a rate higher than typical for its age. Notable gaps include the jump from 129,789 miles on 30 November 2022 to 168,408 miles on 27 November 2023, a rise of 38,600 miles in twelve months, suggesting intensified use. Prior to 2022 the mileage increased steadily but at a more moderate pace, and the recent acceleration points to possible heavy reliance on the car for longer journeys. A buyer should therefore inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear or binding, verify the condition of the front and rear brake discs and pads, and check that the engine management light operates correctly, as the 2024‑06‑08 failure listed inoperative MIL. Also examine the washer pump and fluid system, since the 2024‑12‑09 failure and earlier 2022‑05‑31 and 2021‑06‑07 washer‑fluid defects reveal recurring neglect. Additionally, assess the registration plate lamp wiring and mounting, as repeated inoperative lamps on both sides indicate possible corrosion or loose connections, and evaluate tyre tread depth and edge wear, especially on the front tyres noted in the June 2024 test.
