A Toyota Prius in a taxi is a legend of durability, but only with regular servicing. At 50–80 thousand km a year the hybrid system works more than an average car does in 15 years.
What every 50,000 km?
- HV battery diagnostics with a record of module voltages
- Cleaning the fan and the pack cooling ducts
- An engine oil change (even if the schedule says less often)
- A check of the brake fluid and the rear discs
- A 12 V battery test — in a fleet it fails most often
Signs of a tired pack in a fleet
Fuel use up 1–2 l, weaker acceleration, the battery fan on high all the time. An early module rebuild is often cheaper than a taxi off the road.
Records for the drivers
A simple log: date, mileage, average SOC, fault codes. It helps predict a failure before the car stops at the peak of the season.
