2014 LEXUS LS4.6L PETROL

This 2014 Lexus LS passed its most recent MOT in April 2026 with 98,448 miles, but the advisory list is the real story. The suspension is showing clear signs of age and wear: both front lower suspension arm bushes are worn, the offside front shock absorber has up and down movement, and the front brake discs are worn with pads getting thin. These are not minor niggles—they point to a car that needs significant front-end work soon. The trend is worsening. In 2025, the car failed on two rear tyres with exposed ply or cords, which is a dangerous, immediate-fail condition. The 2024 MOT showed all four tyres close to the legal limit, plus a cut in a front tyre. The 2023 MOT was clean except for a tyre cut. So over the last three years, the pattern has shifted from simple tyre wear to structural suspension and brake deterioration. This is not a car that has been meticulously maintained; it has been run to the edge of its service limits. The mileage of roughly 8,200 miles per year is typical for a 12-year-old car, so there is no strong signal of extreme use or long periods standing.
