2009 Toyota Prius 1.8L Hybrid electric (clean) · SD59 FWV

The 2009 Toyota Prius presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, having passed the most recent test on 24 July 2025 at 66,040 miles with only trivial headlamp lens contamination and a child seat obstructing belt inspection. The history shows no failures and no escalating defects across the five recorded annual tests from 2021 to 2025. Minor advisories have remained isolated and non-structural throughout. Recorded mileage sits at 66,040 against an August 2024 figure of 64,997, giving roughly 1,043 miles in the past year and a lifetime average near 3,885 miles per annum. The car covered only 3,396 miles between the August 2022 and August 2023 tests, then 3,403 to August 2024. Such low, consistent accumulation over seventeen years suggests extended standing periods or short urban trips rather than sustained motorway use. No gaps exist in the annual test sequence and the record is clean of major mechanical rejects. The August 2021 test flagged worn, pitted rear brake discs, yet no subsequent entry repeats the fault, implying the discs were replaced or refinished before 2022. Recurring tyre perishability appears on the nearside front across 2022 and 2023, with a shallow cut in 2022 and sidewall cracking in 2023; the absence of tyre notes in 2024 and 2025 indicates renewed rubber. A buyer should still confirm rear disc condition and measure nearside front sidewall integrity in person. Child seat fittings blocked full adult belt checks in 2023 and 2025, so verify the rear belts retract and latch without obstruction. Headlamp lenses carry light grime but output stays legal; a wipe restores clarity. Given the low mileage and uneventful record, structural corrosion and suspension bushes show no flagged concern, though a ramp inspection of subframes remains prudent on a seventeen-year-old vehicle.
