LEXUS LS2017 · 5.0L HYBRID ELECTRIC

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT in January 2026, but you should be prepared for immediate expenditure on tyres. The tester recorded that all four tyres were worn close to the legal limit or worn on the edges. Since this test was conducted nearly five months ago, there is a high risk that these tyres are now illegal and require urgent replacement before the car can be driven safely. The mechanical trend suggests that wear on consumables is accelerating. The history shows a clean bill of health in early 2024, but by early 2025, rear brake discs were noted as worn, and by early 2026, the tyre condition had deteriorated significantly across the entire vehicle. This pattern indicates the car is under heavier use recently compared to its earlier years. The braking system has a documented history of wear that you must verify. Front brake pads were flagged as wearing thin in early 2023, and rear brake discs were noted as worn with slight noise in early 2025. Given the mileage accumulated since these advisories, you should inspect the current thickness of the pads and the condition of the discs on both axles to ensure they are not due for replacement. While the lifetime mileage average appears typical for a nine-year-old car, the recent mileage accumulation is notably higher.
