2022 LEXUS RX3.5L HYBRID ELECTRIC

The 2022 Lexus RX presents a clean and stable maintenance trend, with no defects recorded on either MOT test. The most recent examination on 25 May 2026 at 22,515 miles returned a completely clear pass, indicating that all safety-critical systems, including brakes, tyres, suspension, lights, and exhaust emissions, met the DVSA standard on that date. A single advisory or minor item did not appear on either record. This pattern suggests consistent, attentive ownership rather than reactive repairs, with no recurring faults to flag a worsening or resolving trend. The mileage profile is notably low for a vehicle approaching four years of age. Between the 11 June 2025 test at 17,268 miles and the 25 May 2026 test at 22,515 miles, the car covered 5,247 miles in just under eleven months. That aligns with the overall annualised average of roughly 5,629 miles per year since new. There are no suspicious gaps or sudden spikes in the recorded intervals, and the two data points sit within a plausible, steady usage pattern. The record is sparse in the sense that only two MOT entries exist, but both are clean and internally consistent. A buyer should still carry out a physical inspection focused on components that MOT tests only sample at a single point in time. Check the condition and evenness of tyre wear across all four corners, as low-mileage cars can suffer from flat-spotting or perished sidewalls from prolonged standing. Inspect the brake discs and pads for surface corrosion, which can develop quickly on a vehicle that sits unused between short trips. Examine the underside for any early signs of corrosion on suspension components, subframes, and exhaust mounting points, particularly if the car has been kept in a coastal or road-salted area. Given the absence of any flagged defects, the main risk is not hidden mechanical failure but rather the unknowns that a clean MOT cannot reveal. A test drive should assess whether the transmission shifts smoothly from cold, whether the suspension is free of clunks over rough surfaces, and whether the air conditioning and infotainment systems function correctly. The low mileage and defect-free record point to careful use, but a pre-purchase inspection by a qualified technician remains the most reliable way to confirm that the car's mechanical condition matches its paper history.
