2017 Toyota Prius 1.8L Hybrid electric · WAZ 303

The vehicle maintains an excellent roadworthiness status, evidenced by a clean pass on 19 March 2026 at 43,243 miles. The maintenance trend is remarkably stable, as the car has cleared its last three annual inspections without a single recorded defect or advisory. This consistent performance indicates a high standard of preventative care and suggests that the vehicle has been kept in a reliable mechanical state throughout its recent history. The recorded mileage of 43,243 miles over nine years averages approximately 4,800 miles annually, which is significantly lower than the typical usage for a vehicle of this type. The progression of mileage is steady, showing no evidence of long periods of inactivity or erratic usage patterns. The consistent annual testing intervals between 2022 and 2026 confirm that the vehicle has remained in regular operation, which generally benefits hybrid drivetrain longevity by preventing the battery degradation often associated with prolonged storage. Prospective buyers should note that the MOT history consistently mentions engine covers and under-trays obscuring mechanical components. While this is standard for this model, it means that the underside has not been fully visible to testers during recent inspections. You should prioritize a visual check of the suspension bushes, brake lines, and the structural integrity of the chassis floor during a physical viewing to ensure no hidden corrosion or fluid leaks exist behind these panels. Given the clean record, the primary focus should be on verifying the condition of consumable items like brake discs and pads, which may be approaching their service limit despite the low mileage.
