2009 Toyota Prius 1.8L Petrol · SL59 FXJ

The 2009 Toyota Prius has a clean MOT history, with all recorded tests from 2022 to 2025 resulting in a "PASSED" rating and no defects noted. The most recent MOT on 2025-08-05, at 205,634 miles, confirms the vehicle met safety and roadworthiness standards. This consistency suggests no immediate or recurring mechanical issues that would have triggered failures. The vehicle’s mileage of 205,634 miles over 17 years equates to an average of 12,096 miles per year, which is higher than typical for its age. This could indicate frequent use, potentially accelerating wear on components like brakes, suspension, and drivetrain parts. However, the absence of defects in all MOT records implies these systems have not yet failed or required repair. The trend in MOT outcomes is stable, with no evidence of worsening conditions. The lack of "failed tests" or "defects" in the history suggests the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that meets legal requirements. However, high mileage combined with age increases the likelihood of hidden wear, particularly in components not routinely inspected during MOTs, such as the hybrid battery, transmission, or engine internals. A buyer should prioritize inspecting the brake system, suspension components, and drivetrain for signs of excessive wear.
