2016 Lexus IS 2.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · FM16 ABN

The vehicle remains roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, as evidenced by its most recent March 2026 MOT at 96,049 miles, which recorded no defects. All prior tests from 2022 to 2025 also passed without issues, indicating consistent adherence to regulatory standards. No recurring mechanical or structural faults were flagged across the six-year history, suggesting the previous owner prioritized regular servicing. The absence of advisories or failures implies the car has not experienced critical wear in components such as brakes, suspension, or exhaust systems. The mileage progression aligns with typical usage for a 10-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,605 miles annually. The records show steady accumulation, with no significant gaps or sudden spikes in distance covered. The 2022 test at 42,700 miles to the 2026 test at 96,049 miles reflects a gradual increase, avoiding periods of prolonged inactivity that might accelerate corrosion or fluid degradation. This pattern suggests the car has been driven regularly, reducing the risk of hidden issues linked to standing. A buyer should conduct a detailed inspection of suspension components, including bushes and coil springs, which can degrade over time without immediate MOT consequences. Brake discs and calipers, though unmentioned in records, warrant scrutiny for uneven wear or corrosion. The exhaust system, particularly near the catalytic converter, should be checked for leaks or damage, as these may not trigger immediate failures. Structural integrity, while not flagged, remains a consideration for older models, requiring a visual assessment of the chassis and body for rust or panel damage.
