Toyota Prius2025

• Excellent fuel economy and low tax in year one; plug-in hybrid suits short commutes and urban driving with zero-emission range around 50 km.
• Well-priced at median €41,950; year-on-year stability and modest positive growth suggest fair market value, not inflated demand.
• Battery degradation after 5–8 years is normal (5–10% capacity loss); replacement runs €8,000–12,000. 12V auxiliary battery can drain if car left idle without trickle charger.
• Before purchase, test the charging port and inspect connectors for corrosion—common in Irish wet climate; ask seller for full charge/discharge cycle history.
• NI import saves €3,738 before VRT; factor in €2,500–3,000 additional VRT cost, making true saving marginal after registration.
