There was a Prius THS that a man used as a taxi in NY that had about 200,000 miles on it before Toyota bought it back from him. It was in the news, but I can't seem to find it online.

Recently a Vancouver-based Toyota Prius hybrid car used as a taxi was taken off the road with over 332,000 km (206,295 miles) on the odometer, with no major repairs during the car's history. It was taken out of service because Toyota in Japan wanted to to strip it down and check everything out. The driver was given a new Prius at no charge. from the Vancouver Sun
