    Tire pressure is good and battery is also inpected. One more thing sometimes with full battery he will covered 12km and sometime at same condition he will covered just 2 3 km before 1 month this stable every full battery he covered 10km.

    How does the car feel when you accelerate - normal? Maybe there is a fuel leak, or someone stole petrol from your tank?

    Sounds like the electric motor is not doing its job properly. (Bad fuel consumption, low EV range, and noisy engine when accelerating all point in this direction)

    Maybe faulty cells in the hybrid (HV) battery?

    there is no way you can go 8 km on battery alone in a prius, unless you are going down hill.
