2015 Toyota Prius 1.8L Hybrid electric (clean) · WM65 CMX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the most recent inspection indicates a shift from clean passes to developing mechanical wear. While the Prius maintained a perfect record between July 2023 and July 2024 without defects, the July 2025 test at 195,240 miles revealed multiple advisories regarding the front braking system and suspension. This suggests a worsening trend where high-mileage components are reaching their functional limit due to the intensive use. The mileage profile is exceptionally high for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging over 17,000 miles per year. There is a significant surge in usage between December 2023 and July 2024, where the car covered 14,567 miles in just seven months. More notably, the 14,270 miles recorded between the January 2024 and July 2024 tests reflect a consistent high-frequency operation pattern. This high-mileage data confirms the vehicle is used consistently for long-distance travel, which accelerates the degradation of suspension bushings and braking hardware. A buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of the front-end assembly. The July 2025 record flagged both front brake discs as pitted and scored along with thin pads, indicating a full front brake overhaul is likely imminent. Furthermore, the worn suspension arm pins on both the nearside and offside front indicate that the rubber bushings are deteriorating, which will eventually lead to steering play and uneven tyre wear if not replaced. Given the mileage, the integrity of the subframe and the condition of the hybrid battery cooling system also require scrutiny, as the MOT record does not yet flag these structural or electronic areas.
