1991 LEXUS LS4004.0L PETROL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the available data, though the record ends by nearly two decades. The most recent recorded test in October 2007 at 138,674 miles passed with no defects, following a failure just nine days prior. This indicates that the mechanical issues identified at that time were addressed and rectified. However, because there have been no MOT entries recorded since 2007, the current roadworthiness status cannot be verified through official testing history. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a vehicle from 1991, averaging approximately 4,000 miles per year. Between October 2005 and October 2007, the car covered 14,441 miles, moving from 124,233 to 138,674 miles. This low usage suggests the vehicle was not a daily driver, but such inactivity often leads to the degradation of rubber components and fluid seals. The lack of data in the following years suggests the vehicle may have sat stationary or been out of circulation. A buyer must inspect the suspension and steering closely, as the history shows a trend of wear in these areas. The 2005 test flagged play in the nearside outer rear tie bar, and the 2007 failure identified excessive play in both rear lower suspension arm bushes. Given the age of the car and the low mileage, these rubber components are likely perished or perished regardless of the distance driven. Physical inspection should check for cracks in the control arms and play in the ball joints. Specific attention is also required for the tyres and braking system. The 2006 test noted rear tyres reaching the legal limit, and with the time elapsed since that record, any remaining rubber would suffer from dry rot and structural integrity failure. The buyer should also verify the brake system for seized calipers or perished lines, as long periods of standing frequently cause corrosion on the discs and internal seizing within the hydraulic system.
