Toyota Prius Plus (2014)
2014 Toyota Prius Plus
CarHunch analysed 420 real MOT records for the 2014 Toyota Prius Plus. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2014 Prius Plus passes its MOT first time at 88.1%, comfortably ahead of the UK average of 80%, which suggests solid overall durability—though the 26.9% of vehicles that have ever recorded a dangerous defect is notably high and worth investigating on any used example you're considering. At nearly 95,000 miles on average, these cars are showing their age with an average of 1.93 failures and 4.4 advisories per test, indicating that while they're generally reliable, wear-related issues are creeping in by this point in their life.
Before buying, have a pre-purchase inspection done, paying particular attention to the hybrid battery and electrical systems—these hybrid powertrains need specialist knowledge and are where hidden costs can hide. Request the MOT history of any vehicle and look specifically for what generated those dangerous defects; if a car has dodged major issues to 95,000 miles, it's likely been well maintained.
What to check before buying a 2014 Toyota Prius Plus
Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
- 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
- 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
- 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
- ⚠️ 26.9% of these vehicles have had a dangerous defect recorded. Enter the reg below — the full MOT history will show exactly what was flagged and whether it was resolved.
