Spanner can help turn your car details into an advert.
Could suit you if…
- You need seats for a larger family: this advert records 7 seats. Check that your passengers and child seats actually fit.
- Many journeys are local or relatively short: petrol can fit that use without choosing diesel just for occasional long trips.
- You want practical access for everyday shopping and bags: the hatchback opening may suit your routine. Check actual boot space.
- You would prefer less gear changing in traffic: the recorded automatic transmission may suit. Try how this exact gearbox behaves on a test drive.
Think twice if…
- You need every seat and lots of luggage space: check the boot with all rows in use, third-row legroom and child-seat access.
- You need predictable ownership costs: at around 13 years old and 531,082 km, check maintenance records and upcoming work. Mileage alone does not tell you the car's condition.
This is general guidance about this type of car and your needs — not an inspection or approval of this individual car.
Although the dealer lists 'petrol', this is a petrol‑electric hybrid (3rd‑gen Prius ZVW30, 2010–2015) with Toyota's e‑CVT and the 1.8 Atkinson petrol engine. Key things to note: hybrid battery health is the main long‑term concern on older Priuses and replacement can be expensive, and there are occasional inverter/coolant‑pump faults on cars with high mileage. Routine servicing and parts are widely available through Toyota dealers and independent garages in Ireland.
- Hybrid battery state‑of‑health report (capacity % and cell balance) — look for a professional SOH readout and any past module replacements.
- Check for electrical fault lights related to inverter/traction system and ask about inverter coolant pump service or known repairs.
- CVT / e‑CVT behaviour: ensure smooth acceleration with no shuddering or hunting revs and confirm regular engine/gearbox service history.
- Brakes and regenerative system: check for uneven pad wear, consistent stopping feel, and that the handbrake holds when parked.
- Age/corrosion points: inspect lower sills, wheel arches and tailgate seals for rust and any signs of water ingress in the boot area.
