2007 LEXUS IS2502.5L PETROL

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status, having passed its last five annual MOT tests without failure. The most recent inspection in October 2025 at 59,373 miles resulted in a pass with a single advisory regarding an offside front tyre worn close to the legal limit and worn on the edge. This indicates that while the mechanical and safety components remain within tolerance levels, basic consumable maintenance is now requiring immediate attention to maintain the vehicle's current standard. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a vehicle from 2007, averaging approximately 3,125 miles per year. Between November 2021 and October 2025, the car covered only 5,847 miles, showing a consistent pattern of low-intensity use. This low mileage typically suggests reduced mechanical wear on the drivetrain, engine, and braking system compared to high-mileage examples. However, long periods of standing can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based components, such as seals and suspension bushings, which are not always captured by a standard MOT test. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection focusing on signs of age-related perishability that the low mileage might mask. The advisory on the offside front tyre suggests a potential alignment issue or uneven wear pattern that should be checked against the suspension geometry and bushings. Given the vehicle's age, it is vital to inspect for structural corrosion on the sills and underbody members, as low mileage does not prevent environmental oxidation over nearly two decades. Additionally, checking the brake calipers for seizing or pitted discs is advisable, as vehicles that sit infrequently are often prone to surface rust on the braking system.
