2017 Toyota Prius 1.8L Hybrid electric · SN17 RZP

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 1 August 2025 at 61,543 miles with no recorded defects. This represents an improving maintenance trend following a period of significant neglect in mid-2024. While the car previously struggled with multiple mechanical and safety failures, the clean sheet from the latest test indicates that the current owner addressed the outstanding faults to bring the vehicle back to passing standard. At approximately nine years old, the recorded mileage of 61,543 miles reflects an average of roughly 6,800 miles per year, which is consistent with low-average annual usage. The data shows steady usage intervals, with approximately 8,300 miles driven between the July 2023 and August 2024 tests, and another 8,700 miles between August 2024 and 2025. This consistent progression suggests the vehicle has not undergone excessive stress, though the low mileage can sometimes contribute to the corrosion issues seen in the history. A buyer should pay close attention to the braking system and suspension during a physical inspection. The record reveals a persistent pattern of brake component wear, with discs flagged as pitted or scored as early as 2023 and a total failure on the offside front pad in 2024. Although these were likely replaced, the buyer should verify the remaining thickness of the current pads and check for any binding or uneven wear on the rotors. Additionally, the nearside front coil spring was flagged for corrosion in 2024; an inspector should check all suspension components for similar structural rust to ensure the corrosion has not progressed since the repair.
