2010 Lexus IS F 5.0L Petrol · GU10 VZN

The most recent MOT on 2026-01-29 recorded several minor issues, including a deteriorated rear registration plate, a damaged driver’s door hinge, and headlamp lens contamination. A service brake binding was also noted, though described as not excessive. These findings align with recurring defects seen in prior MOTs, suggesting ongoing maintenance needs rather than sudden deterioration. Recurring mechanical patterns include consistent wear on tyres, with multiple mentions of tyres approaching legal limits or showing edge wear. Brake discs have been noted as worn or pitted since 2023, though never seriously weakened. Door hinges and headlamp lenses have shown similar issues across multiple years, indicating gradual degradation rather than acute failure. The 2026 MOT introduced a new brake binding concern, which may signal emerging problems in the braking system. The trend of defects appears stable, with no significant escalation in severity. However, the persistence of issues like tyre wear and brake disc condition suggests cumulative wear over time. The vehicle’s mileage of 118,167 miles (roughly 7,385 per year) is typical for its age, implying average usage rather than heavy or light use.
