2013 Lexus IS 250 F Sport Auto 2.5L Petrol · LX63 ABN

This Lexus IS 250 F Sport has maintained a consistent MOT history with no defects recorded across five consecutive tests, all passing on the most recent test date of 24 September 2025. The vehicle’s roadworthiness status remains stable, with no advisories or failings to suggest recurring mechanical issues. The most recent test, conducted just ten months ago at 41,435 miles, confirms the absence of binding calipers, excessive corrosion, or suspension failures—components that often appear in similar-age vehicles. However, the lack of advisories in any test does not preclude hidden wear, particularly in areas like coil springs, subframe mounts, or exhaust system integrity, which are not always flagged until they reach critical thresholds. The recorded mileage of 41,435 miles over a span of nearly 13 years—approximately 3,187 miles annually—indicates unusually light usage for this model. The incremental increases between tests (e.g., 1,518 miles between the 2024 and 2025 tests) suggest the vehicle has spent extended periods stationary, which can accelerate degradation in fluids, seals, and rubber components. Notably, there are no gaps in MOT testing, implying consistent annual compliance, though this does not guarantee all servicing was performed. The low mileage also raises questions about whether critical maintenance—such as timing belt inspections, differential fluid changes, or brake master cylinder servicing—has been conducted on schedule. Given the absence of MOT-reported faults, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of the suspension’s rubber bushes and coil springs, as these are prone to fatigue over time without high mileage. The brakes, while not failed, should be checked for uneven wear or binding, particularly the rear calipers, which can develop issues without significant use. Exhaust system integrity is another critical area; corrosion in the underbody or catalytic converter could have gone unnoticed without recent movement. Additionally, verify the condition of the battery, which may have been neglected in periods of inactivity, and inspect the interior for signs of water ingress or electrical faults, as these are often overlooked in low-mileage vehicles. Fluid levels—brake, power steering, and coolant—should be confirmed as recent, as stagnation can lead to contamination or failure.
