Description

2008 Toyota Prius T3 Vvt-I
This has been a brilliant car for us. Only selling because we've bought a more recent Prius.

The good bits:
Only one previous owner.
Toyota service history up to 155k miles, regular oil and filter changes since then.
Hybrid battery renewed at Toyota dealership in 2021 at 165k miles (with invoice to prove).
£20/year road tax.
MOT until February 2027.
Drives really nicely with no knocks or bangs.
Genuine 50+ mpg in everyday use.
Bodywork and interior pretty good for the age.

The not so good bits:
Was recorded as a cat N (non-structural) write off 2 years ago after a low speed front end prang. We bought it back from the insurers and had it repaired by a local bodyshop (new front wing and bonnet, front bumper repair)
Air conditioning doesn't work. It used to just need a re-gas every year, but last time didn't hold pressure.
Has had 2 small bits of welding on the sills for past MOTs, and might need some more in the future. Don't be put off by this - it's generally quite good underneath, and doesn't normally need other repairs for MOTs.
218k miles - again, don't be put off by this. It doesn't feel this high mileage to drive, and these cars routinely get to 300k+ miles.
A few minor scrapes on the bodywork, mainly on the rear bumper (see photos).
Will need a couple of new tyres soon.

We've owned this for 5 years and it's been by far the least trouble of any car we've owned. It's super-relaxing to drive and super-cheap to run. We'll be very sorry to see it go.

Still in daily use until sold, so mileage will go up slightly.
