LEXUS LS2006 · 4.6L PETROL

The most recent MOT from September 2025 was a clean pass with no defects recorded, suggesting the vehicle is currently in a roadworthy state. However, the history reveals a significant pattern of neglect during the September 2024 inspection. The vehicle failed on a wide array of critical safety and mechanical issues, including missing and loose wheel fixings, worn front lower suspension arm bushes on both sides, and faults with both the ABS and electronic stability control systems. It also suffered from emissions failures and a noted oil leak. The overall trend appears to be improving. The extensive list of defects from 2024 was rectified for a pass shortly after, and the subsequent 2025 test was flawless. This indicates that the previous owner has recently invested in necessary repairs to bring the car back up to standard. The mileage is very low for a twenty-year-old vehicle, averaging fewer than 2,700 miles per year. While this means the engine and drivetrain have seen little use, such low mileage often indicates long periods of standing. This is likely why the suspension bushes perished and the electronic systems flagged faults, as components on low-use cars often degrade due to age and inactivity rather than physical wear.
