2017 LEXUS IS2.5L HYBRID ELECTRIC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 2026-04-15 at 59,969 miles with only a single advisory: the nearside rear tyre worn close to the legal limit and showing edge wear. This follows a generally stable maintenance trend over the past three years — two clean passes in 2024 and 2025, one minor failure quickly rectified (a rear stop lamp), and now this low-severity advisory. There is no evidence of escalating mechanical faults, recurring failures, or deteriorating structural integrity across the record. Mileage accumulation has been steady and consistent: 11,287 miles between April 2023 and April 2024, then 6,687 miles in the following year, and 4,583 miles in the most recent 12 months — aligning closely with the average annual figure of 6,663 miles for a nine-year-old car. No gaps suggest prolonged inactivity, nor does any spike indicate intensive use; the progression reflects typical private ownership with regular, moderate driving. The record spans five consecutive annual tests without omission, offering a complete and reliable view of the vehicle’s usage pattern. The sole recurring concern flagged is tyre condition — specifically uneven rear wear, noted only in the latest test but potentially indicative of alignment issues, worn suspension bushes, or incorrect inflation history. While no suspension, brake, or corrosion defects have appeared in any report, a buyer should still inspect rear axle geometry, coil springs, damper condition, and brake caliper operation — particularly for binding that could contribute to edge wear. The 2025 stop lamp failure was isolated and easily remedied, but verifying all lighting functionality remains prudent. Given the car’s age and mileage, attention should also be paid to brake disc thickness, rear differential fluid condition, and underbody corrosion, especially around wheel arches and subframe mounts, even if not previously recorded.
