Is a high-mileage Toyota Prius a reliable purchase?
I am looking to buy a 2007 Toyota Prius that has done 136,000 miles but comes with a full service by Toyota for £4700. The car is in very good condition. Are there any pitfalls of buying a high mileage Prius?

Surprisingly few with a Prius II because the drivetrain is almost entirely stress-free and can easily last 400,000 miles plus.

Much better than the original. An enjoyable, practical, safe, economical hybrid. Looks good, too. Prius Taxis have run to 400,000 miles plus with very little trouble.
