2004 LEXUS RX3003.0L Petrol

This Lexus RX300 presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 12 February 2026 at 118,305 miles passed without any defects or advisories. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to February 2023, suggesting the vehicle is currently maintained to a high standard. The mileage is notably low for a twenty-two year old vehicle, averaging roughly 5,378 miles per year. The accumulation has remained steady over the last few years, increasing by 4,080 miles between February 2025 and February 2026, and 3,693 miles between February 2024 and February 2025. This consistent, low-volume usage suggests the car has avoided the heavy wear typically associated with high-mileage commuters. The MOT record is unusually clean for a vehicle of this age, with no recorded advisories for suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions across multiple years. While the failure on 14 February 2024 was resolved within two days, the lack of detailed defect data for that specific event is atypical. The absence of any mentioned corrosion is positive, but structural rust often develops in hidden areas that a standard MOT might miss on a low-use vehicle. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components that degrade regardless of mileage. Check for perishing rubber seals, cracked suspension bushings, and the condition of the tyre sidewalls, as low-mileage cars often suffer from age-related rubber degradation. Verify the brake caliper operation to ensure no seizing has occurred during periods of inactivity.
