Buying Tips for the 2011–2015 Lexus CT 200h

  • Ask if the EGR valve and cooler have ever been cleaned. If the car shakes on startup, this is a likely culprit.
  • Check the 12V auxiliary battery (located in the boot). If it's original and over 5 years old, it may be near the end of its life.
  • Test the ride quality; the F-Sport models have significantly firmer suspension which may be too harsh for some UK roads.
