Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2010 model year cars.
- Brake Actuator FailureSerious
The brake accumulator pump (actuator) fails and loses pressure assistance, so the pump runs constantly or the pedal feels hard on high-mileage Gen 3 Prius.
- EGR Clogging / Head GasketSerious
Clogged EGR system causes misfires and eventually head gasket failure on high-mile drivers.
- Hybrid Battery DegradationModerate
The high-voltage battery pack gradually loses capacity over time, reducing fuel economy and electric-only range.
