LEXUS IS2013 · 2.5L HYBRID ELECTRIC

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT in December 2025 with no defects recorded, suggesting it is currently in a roadworthy condition. The MOT history shows a recurring pattern of rear tyre issues. In 2021, the inner edges of the rear tyres were worn, and by 2023, the rear tyres were both worn and showing signs of cracking or perishing. However, the condition trend appears to be improving, as the two most recent tests in 2024 and 2025 were completely clean. The recorded mileage is very low for a thirteen-year-old car, averaging roughly 4,303 miles per year. While this indicates light use, the 2023 evidence of perishing and cracking tyres is a strong signal that the vehicle may have suffered from long periods of standing rather than consistent regular use. Because the car has spent significant time stationary, the primary risk is the degradation of rubber components regardless of the low mileage. When inspecting the car in person, you should first check the current age and condition of all tyres for cracking. You should also examine other rubber bushings and seals for signs of drying or perishing caused by under-use.
