2013 Lexus IS 250 F Sport Auto 2.5L Petrol · K9 VBR

This 2013 Lexus IS 250 demonstrates a highly stable and improving roadworthiness trend, anchored by a clean pass at the most recent test on 18 October 2025 at 96,643 miles. The vehicle has accrued five consecutive passes over the last four years, with the only recorded blemish being a minor advisory for a chipped windscreen back in January 2022. The complete absence of defects or advisories in the four most recent tests indicates disciplined upkeep and a well-maintained mechanical condition leading up to the current date. Mileage accumulation aligns closely with national averages for a vehicle of this age, averaging roughly 7,400 miles annually. The data shows a consistent trajectory, moving from 63,202 miles in January 2022 to 96,643 miles by October 2025. This equates to a steady increment of approximately 7,700 to 8,800 miles per year between tests. There are no abnormal gaps suggesting prolonged periods off the road, nor any sudden spikes indicating aggressive fleet use. The progressive, predictable climb points to regular, typical use without undue stress on the drivetrain. Despite the impeccable MOT record, a buyer must not rely solely on test history when evaluating a thirteen-year-old sedan approaching six figures on the odometer. The clean sheets mean no suspension bushes, coil springs, or exhaust emissions triggered a failure, but age-related degradation will still be present. Inspect the brake discs and calipers closely for binding or heavy lip wear, as these consumables face natural fatigue at this mileage. Check the tyre tread depths and suspension components thoroughly on a ramp, since an MOT pass only verifies minimum standards at the exact moment of testing rather than guaranteeing long-term service life.
