2009 Lexus IS220 2.2L Diesel · F16 CFC

The vehicle presents a remarkably stable roadworthiness profile, maintaining a clean pass record over the last five years. The most recent test conducted on 26 August 2025 at 23,974 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, mirroring the trend of perfect passes since 2021. This consistency suggests the car has been maintained to a high standard and has avoided recurring mechanical failures or structural degradation. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 17-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,410 miles per year. Between August 2021 and August 2025, the car covered only 4,328 miles, with a significant gap of just 257 miles between the 2023 and 2024 tests. While this reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, such low usage often leads to the degradation of rubber components, such as dry rot in sidewalls, perished suspension bushes, or seized brake calipers from infrequent use. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on risks associated with low-mileage storage rather than mechanical wear. The record shows no history of brake issues or exhaust corrosion, but the age of the vehicle necessitates a close look at the structural integrity of the chassis and wheel arches for hidden rust. Inspect the tyres for age-related cracking, as tread depth may remain high despite low mileage. Additionally, verify that fluids and seals have not suffered from drying out due to long periods of stationary use.
