LEXUS IS2006 · 2.2L DIESEL

The most recent MOT on 2021-01-05 recorded a PASSED result with one defect: the offside front outer tyre was worn close to the legal limit. This suggests ongoing tyre maintenance concerns, though no immediate safety risk was flagged. The prior MOT on 2020-12-21 showed a FAIL, revealing multiple critical issues: parking brake inefficiency, both rear brake pads below 1.5mm (a legal minimum), worn and pitted brake discs, and windscreen wiper failure. These indicate significant brake system degradation and potential safety risks. A pattern of brake-related defects emerges, particularly with rear brake pads and discs. The 2019 MOT noted thin brake pads and tyres near the limit, while the 2017 MOT mentioned a nearside rear tyre worn to the legal limit. These recurring issues suggest consistent wear on braking components and tyres, likely due to regular use. However, the 2018 MOT showed no defects, and the 2021 MOT had only a minor tyre issue, indicating possible repairs or maintenance between 2020 and 2021. The vehicle’s mileage of 166,962 miles over 20 years equates to roughly 8,348 miles per year, which is typical for its age. However, the 2019 MOT records a mileage of 335,889 miles, which is inconsistent with the stated 166,962 miles.
