Our Verdict
This 2014 Lexus IS Hybrid presents a strong value proposition with an unbroken 5-year MOT history and no recorded defects. However, the unusual mileage progression requires verification before purchase.
Prioritize verifying the mileage consistency - the recorded 30,605 miles in 2025 (11 years old) contradicts the 15,736 miles in 2021. Request full service history to confirm hybrid system maintenance. Negotiate slightly given the potential mileage anomaly, but the clean MOT record justifies a fair price. Check for any non-MOT related issues like hybrid battery health.
The 2.5L hybrid engine delivers efficient fuel economy (est. 50-60mpg) with zero road tax. Insurance group is likely mid-range for a luxury hybrid. Maintenance costs may include periodic hybrid battery checks, though no such issues appear in MOT records. Annual running costs estimate at £800-£1,000 including fuel and servicing.
Confirm mileage accuracy through service records and check for hybrid system faults not covered by MOT. Inspect the battery pack for swelling or leakage, and verify the 2.5L engine's condition. Review the vehicle's history for any accidents or major repairs not shown in MOT data. Check the air conditioning system - common issue in older Lexus models.
The vehicle shows excellent maintenance with all MOTs passed since 2021, covering 15,736 to 30,605 miles. Its hybrid powertrain offers fuel efficiency, while the clean MOT record suggests responsible ownership. The decreasing mileage figures (2021-2025) require scrutiny to confirm accuracy.
