Buying Tips for 2017 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.
