2008 Toyota Prius 1.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · RO08 YKD

The 2008 Toyota Prius presents a stable and clean roadworthiness profile. The most recent test on 26 November 2025 at 93,958 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken five-year sequence of clear MOT outcomes. The maintenance trend shows no worsening or recurring faults across the available history. Annual mileage sits low for an eighteen-year-old vehicle. The records show 68,175 miles in December 2021, rising to 74,677 by November 2022, 80,630 in November 2023, 87,153 in November 2024, and 93,958 in November 2025. That equates to roughly 6,000 miles per year, below the national average. The clean sheet across all five tests suggests the previous keeper kept basic upkeep current rather than deferring consumable replacements. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection beneath the car. Low-use hybrids of this era often develop corrosion on subframes and rear suspension mounts while standing idle, and the MOT tester logged no advisories on structural integrity or exhaust emissions to rule that out. Check the hybrid battery cooling fan for blockage and verify the brake discs for lip and pitting after long periods of light braking. Suspension bushes and coil springs warrant a road test for knock or sag, as the MOT record gives no insight beyond the pass result. Given the age, expect original rubber components to be near the end of service life even without recorded defects.
