2010 Toyota Prius 1.8L Hybrid electric (clean) · YB10 OWZ

The 2010 Toyota Prius presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass on 6 October 2025 at 88,041 miles with zero defects recorded. The preceding test on 8 October 2024 at 82,551 miles shows a failed entry immediately followed by a pass on the same day and mileage, indicating a minor issue was rectified promptly during the same testing session. Every other test in the record, stretching back to 2022, passed without advisories or failures. This is a well-maintained hybrid with no recurring mechanical or structural faults on file. The mileage profile tells a clear story of light, consistent use. Between October 2022 at 65,517 miles and October 2025 at 88,041 miles, the car covered roughly 22,500 miles across three years, averaging about 7,500 miles annually in that window. Earlier years were even quieter, with just under 10,000 miles added between October 2022 and October 2023. The overall lifetime average sits around 5,500 miles per year, well below the UK typical of 8,000 to 12,000. There are no suspicious gaps or sudden spikes in accumulation, and the odometer progression is smooth and credible. Despite the clean MOT record, a buyer should still inspect the underside for corrosion, particularly around suspension mounting points, brake lines, and the exhaust system, as the Prius floor pan and rear arches can trap moisture in older examples. The hybrid battery health deserves attention too, given the car is sixteen years old, even though no emissions or electrical faults have surfaced on test. Check the condition of the regenerative braking system by feeling for smooth deceleration through the pedal, and examine the front brake discs and pads for uneven wear, since Prius braking systems can develop sticky calipers over time. Tyre condition and age should be verified, as low-mileage cars often sit for extended periods and can develop sidewall perishing long before the tread wears out.
