2018 Toyota Prius 1.8L Hybrid electric · PJ18 HTO

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistently clean maintenance record. The most recent inspection conducted on 21 April 2026 at 77,689 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This follows a string of clean passes dating back to 2024, indicating that the mechanical and structural components have remained within acceptable tolerance levels without any recurring failures or progressive degradation over time. The mileage accumulation is consistent with an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,700 miles per annum. Between October 2024 and April 2026, the car covered 19,977 miles, showing a regular usage pattern. The unusual cluster of tests in April 2026, where the vehicle was tested twice in a span of just twelve days with only 625 miles between them, suggests a recent change of ownership or a preparation for sale. This frequency of activity reflects a proactive approach to maintaining legal compliance rather than reactive maintenance. Since the MOT history shows no recorded advisories regarding suspension bushes, brake components, or exhaust corrosion, a physical inspection should focus on standard wear items for a hybrid powertrain of this age. A buyer should verify the condition of the hybrid battery cooling and check for any fluid leaks that are not always captured by the standard MOT test. Given the clean record, the structural integrity of the chassis appears sound, but a manual check of tyre tread and brake pad thickness remains necessary to ensure the physical state matches the documented history.
