07 Prius. 230,000+ miles. Bought it at 70,000 miles. Brakes (once), rear shocks, battery ($600 refurbished), headlights, tires and oil changes. That's it. Still getting 50 mpg. Incredible.

2006 inverter water pump failed at 180k. Got a replacement at local auto parts store on Sunday night and replaced it in less than an hour Monday morning. Wasn't even late for work. Used small long nose vise grips to clamp off the coolant hoses and didn't lose any coolant. Now I'm diagnosing another Red Triangle of Death for some kind of fuel or MAS problem.

I confirm that CVT transmission fluid replacement is usefull. I do this operation every 50k Miles with oem ATF-WS and warm engine to be sure to drain it correctly. The car is smoother to drive and the transition EV/ICE is way better. 2007 gen2 prius with 200.000Miles, the best ever from HSD toyota's 😊

I bought the Toyota Factory 3-way valve from ebay. It was a Knock-Off. And went very bad soon after replacing. It started leaking out a vent, on the electronic side. ONLY BUY A REAL TOYOTA FACTORY PART ON THIS ONE. i noticed it, added coolant to get a new part and home. Great car, i never thought I'd be a Prius owner.

Honestly, I have never seen this car with any significant transmission damage. Toyota even claims that the fluid in the transmission is lifetime. Unfortunately, that isn't true, and you should definitely change the transmission fluid, not sure about 30k miles as you can definitely change it without issue every 60k to 80k. I've seen Prius taxis with nearly 500k miles that had the fluid changed once. These cars are notoriously unattractive but TANKS if you treat them well.

You skip the two gauge problems having to be tech fixed you can fix both from home. The black display cluster can be fixed by opening the door, putting in accessory mode by pushing the start button without holding the brake. Hold the climate button and turn the headlight switch on and off until the door adjourne symbol appears. Close the door and start the car as normal. The fuel gauge reset you can do by turning the car on and pressing the ODO Trip button until you get to Trip A. Turn the vehicle off. Keep foot off the brake, press and hold the ODO Trip button. Press the Power button twice. Release and press ODO Trip button three times and hold. Wait until the odometer displays six digits. Release ODO Trip button, then press and hold again. The odometer will change to five digits. The third digit will quickly change to a one and release the ODO Trip button and it will reset.

If the cluster goes black you can do a chicken dance to reset the electrical system, there are vids on it.

I replaced my guage cluster the other day. Took about three hours of fun.

Toyota states that the transmission fluid/lubricant never needs to be replaced - for the life of the vehicle. I know of people who have driven 350k highway miles without transmission problems. I have drained and replaced my transmission fluid/oil twice and my repair facility refused to do so a third time. No more fun :( They did not discuss the touch screen failing. This is a real problem since operating the ventilation system and keeping the windshield clear is a state requirement.

My 2007 Prius had the display module problem with was fix with a 15 cents capacitor. The inverter coolant pump failed at 169k. There was a Toyota recall for this but I did not spend the time at the dealer. Other than that, the 12V battery got changed every so often, did the brakes at 230k (not that the pad were worn but I was tired of checking it so I got them replaced). The maintenance is very minimal compared with other cars. The catalytic converter got stolen 3 times though.
