2009 Toyota Prius 1.8L Petrol · SY59 ORJ

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a consistently clean pass record across the most recent inspections. The latest MOT test conducted in April 2026 at 167,214 miles resulted in no defects, mirroring the results of the previous four tests. This stability suggests a diligent maintenance regime where the owner has proactively addressed mechanical and safety-related issues before they could trigger a failure at the testing centre. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per year. There is a notable increase in usage recorded between March 2025 and April 2026, where the car covered over 47,000 miles in just thirteen months. Despite this rapid accumulation of mileage, the vehicle maintained its clean-sheet status, indicating that the drivetrain and chassis components are handling high loads without failure. The frequent testing between late 2023 and 2026 also suggests the owner was monitoring the vehicle's condition closely during periods of period. While the digital record shows no recurring faults or advisories, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on common high-mileage wear points for this model. Particular attention must be paid to the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, which often degrade after 150,000 miles. Given the recent surge in annual mileage, inspecting the brake discs for uneven wear and checking the calipers for binding is essential to ensure the braking system has not been stressed by the recent heavy use.
