2010 Toyota Prius 1.8L Electric · PY10 ACU

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile with a clean recent history. The most recent MOT test on 2 December 2025 at 423,393 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes throughout 2023 and 2024, suggesting that previous mechanical issues have been addressed and the vehicle is currently maintaining a high standard of roadworthiness. The mileage accumulation is exceptionally high for a 2010 model, averaging approximately 26,462 miles per year. The data shows heavy, consistent usage, such as the jump from 308,430 miles in April 2021 to 361,928 miles by June 2023. While this high mileage increases the likelihood of component fatigue, the lack of recent advisories indicates that the previous owners have managed the wear on consumables effectively. A prospective buyer should focus on the suspension and braking systems during a physical inspection. The record shows a history of deteriorating suspension arm rubber bushes in 2015 and 2017, alongside a steering rack inner joint play issue in May 2020. Although these issues do not appear in recent tests, the high mileage makes the condition of suspension bushes, ball joints, and shock absorbers a priority. The history also notes minor corrosion on rear brake pipes in September 2017. Given the vehicle's age and the high frequency of use, inspecting the integrity of the braking system, including the condition of brake discs and the presence of any fluid leaks or pipe corrosion, is essential. Checking the hybrid battery health and drivetrain components is also advisable due to the total mileage exceeding 420,000 miles.
