2016 Lexus RX 3.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · BU16 AEB

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on a consistent history of passing MOT tests. The most recent inspection conducted in February 2026 at 104,382 miles resulted with no defects or advisories, indicating that the car is currently in a mechanically sound state. This clean sheet suggests that the most recent owner has been proactive in addressing potential issues before they escalated into test failures. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,400 miles per annum. The data shows a steady increase in usage starting after 2020, where the mileage jumped from 30,355 miles to 35,231 miles in the following year. Since then, the vehicle has covered roughly intervals of 14,000 miles between annual tests. This regular usage suggests the vehicle has been driven consistently, which is generally beneficial for preventing seals from drying out or corrosion due to long periods of inactivity. A physical inspection should focus on the braking system and suspension components based on historical flags. The March 2022 test at 48,426 miles identified both front tyres as being near the legal limit and showing uneven wear on the edges, which often points to an alignment issue or worn suspension bushes. Additionally, the 2023 test at 62,432 miles noted fluctuating front service brakes. While this passed without a failure, a buyer should check for disc thinness or warped rotors during a test drive to ensure the braking components have not reached the end of their service life.
