2006 LEXUS RX3503.5L Petrol

The 2006 Lexus RX350 presents a highly stable mechanical profile, evidenced by a flawless MOT record spanning four consecutive years. The most recent test on 22 January 2026 at 106,810 miles yielded a clean pass with zero defects, indicating no immediate structural or mechanical deterioration. This consistent record suggests the vehicle has been maintained to a high standard, with no recurring faults or emerging issues to flag. Accumulating just 106,810 miles over two decades equates to roughly 5,340 miles annually, a notably low figure for a vehicle of this age. The mileage progression is steady and incremental; the odometer advanced by 2,713 miles between the February 2025 test at 104,097 miles and the January 2026 test at 106,810 miles. Prior to this, annual increments ranged from approximately 3,000 to 3,400 miles, confirming consistent, light usage rather than long periods of inactivity or sudden high-mileage runs. Despite the pristine MOT history, a physical inspection remains essential to verify the condition of components that rarely trigger an MOT advisory on this platform but degrade with age. Pay close attention to the suspension bushes and coil springs, as two decades of use can cause perishing and cracking regardless of mileage. Inspect the brake discs and calipers for any signs of binding or surface corrosion, particularly if the vehicle has stood for extended periods between the low annual mileage increments. Thoroughly examine the underbody and sills for structural corrosion, ensuring the exhaust system retains its integrity and is free from corrosion holes. Tyre age and condition also warrant a close check, as rubber degrades over time even if tread depth remains legal.
