LEXUS CT2017 · 1.8L HYBRID ELECTRIC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift towards minor mechanical wear in the most recent inspection. While the car maintained four clean passes between 2022 and 2025, the test on 22 June 2026 at 27,772 miles introduced two advisories. The presence of an offside front tyre near the legal limit and a worn offside suspension arm bush indicates that the vehicle is beginning to require attention despite its low mileage. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a nine-year-old Lexus, averaging approximately 3,000 miles per year. The data shows consistent, low-usage patterns, moving from 15,240 miles in June 2022 to 27,772 miles just four years later. This suggests the car has likely been used for short urban trips, which typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine. However, such low-frequency use can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components and brake hardware over time. A buyer should specifically inspect the front suspension geometry to assess the extent of the offside suspension arm bush wear. Because the tester flagged the bush without finding excessive movement, it represents an early-stage fault that should be monitored to prevent uneven tyre wear. The offside front tyre also requires checking for alignment issues, as the edge wear suggests a potential need for a tracking adjustment. Given the low mileage, the buyer should also check for brake disc corrosion or seized calipers, which frequently occur on vehicles that sit for long periods.
