2015 Toyota Prius 1.8L Hybrid electric · WG65 TSY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a reactive rather than proactive service pattern. While it passed the most recent test on 10 October 2025 at 52,350 miles, it failed that same day due to multiple critical failures across brakes, tyres, and suspension components. The trend suggests that components are only addressed once they reach the point of legal failure, evidenced by the high volume of defects flagged simultaneously between tests. At 11 years old, the mileage of 52,350 miles is significantly low, averaging approximately 4,760 miles per year. The data shows consistent but low-intensity usage, with 5,460 miles covered between October 2024 and October 2025, and 5,758 miles in the preceding year. This low-mileage profile often correlates with the age-related degradation of rubber components, which explains the recurring issues with perishing tyre sidewalls noted in the 2022 and 2023 records. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the front suspension, as the ball joint dust covers and lower arm bushes have been flagged for deterioration across multiple years. The 2025 failure highlights that the braking system was neglected, with pads below 1.5mm and discs significantly worn or pitted. Given the history of binding calipers and thin pads, the buyer should verify the quality of the recent brake work and ensure that the repairs following the October 2025 failure were completed comprehensively rather than just patched.
