3 What this car’s MOT record points to

Read from the last two years of this car's own test record, grouped by area. Each line quotes what the tester wrote and the date of the test.

Critical

Suspension & steering

Major item, 25 Sept 2026: Nearside Front Track rod end ball joint has excessive play. No later pass is on the record yet.

Typical UK garage price for coil spring replacement: £175–£400. Typical UK garage prices for each job, from published UK repair-cost guides, checked September 2026; not a quote.

No recent issue

Brakes, Tyres, Exhaust & emissions, Lamps & visibility, Structure & corrosion, Engine – oil, Other

Nothing recorded against these in the last two years of tests.

Brakes: last recorded 15 Aug 2023 (advisory), outside the two-year window. Other: last recorded 20 May 2024 (advisory), outside the two-year window.

You now know what the MOT record says. What about its financial past?

The free record cannot show outstanding finance, insurance write-off history or a theft marker. The Full provenance report — no Data Guarantee does, with Experian data, for £5.99.

You will review your order before paying, and you will be asked to sign in first. Data provided by Experian.

4 How it compares with other 2017 Priuss

Against every Toyota Prius first used in 2017 and tested in Great Britain in the 2025 test year (15,334 first-attempt tests) — the most recent full year available.

MeasureThis carTypical 2017 PriusWhat it means
Pass rate, first attempts15 of 16 (94%)86.7% in 2025Higher than the group figure
Fails, first attempts1 of 168.4% of first testsIn line with the group figure
Fixed during the test (PRS)04.9% of first testsNone on this record
Mileage at its latest test (25 Sept 2026)463,310 miles110,640 (middle half 67,891–167,120)Above the middle half; more than twice the upper quarter
Clean passes (no advisories)12 of 1665.2% of first testsHigher than the group figure

"Typical" is every Toyota Prius first used in 2017, any fuel or use — not adjusted for mileage. This car's figures are from its own record only. A first attempt is any test not within 10 days after a failed test of this car. A first attempt whose faults were all put right during the test counts as fixed during the test (PRS), not as a fail, as in DVSA's figures.

MOT data sourced from DVSA, used under the Open Government Licence v3.0. DVSA bulk record as of 27 Sep 2026. DVLA-only fields (tax status, tax due, annual road tax, ULEZ/CO2/Euro status, export marker, wheel plan, type approval, V5C date, recalls) are not loaded until someone presses "Check latest from DVLA & DVSA". Sections 3 and 4 are SortedCars’ arithmetic on the same public record and on DVSA test statistics; they describe the record, not the car’s condition, and are not advice about buying it.

About this page

This is the public record for one vehicle, drawn from two free government sources: DVLA (loaded when someone presses "Check latest from DVLA & DVSA") for the registration — make, year, colour, fuel, emissions, tax and MOT status — and DVSA for every MOT result and mileage reading since 2005. Nothing here costs anything, and nothing here identifies the keeper.

What it cannot tell you is the commercial history: outstanding finance, insurance write-offs and stolen markers. Those come from Experian and are not public. They are the difference between a car you can drive and a car you can lose — see SortedCars Reports, or read the longer guide on the free car check.

The DVLA and DVSA data on this page contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0. SortedCars is not affiliated with, or endorsed by, the DVLA or DVSA.

This page shows vehicle information only — no keeper details and no vehicle identification number. Built on 26 October 2026 from the DVSA bulk MOT record as of 27 September 2026; DVLA fields load when someone presses "Check latest from DVLA & DVSA".
