2018 Lexus NX 2.5L Hybrid electric · M103 LRM

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, passing its most recent MOT test in August 2025 with 155,133 miles and no recorded defects. The maintenance trend appears stable following a corrective action in the previous year. While the 2024 test identified specific tyre issues, the subsequent clean result suggests that the vehicle is currently meeting the minimum safety and environmental standards required despite its heavy usage profile. The mileage pattern is exceptionally high for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging nearly 20,000 miles per year. A significant surge in usage is evident between August 2023 and August 2024, where the car covered over 54,000 miles in just twelve months. This rapid accumulation continued with another 50,000 miles driven between the August 2024 and 2025 tests. Such high annual mileage places considerable strain on drivetrain components, suspension bushings, and braking systems compared to standard private use. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension and steering geometry, as the high mileage often accelerates wear on coil springs, arms, and dampers. The failure in August 2024 due to a tyre bulge and a deep cut indicates a history of impact damage or neglect regarding tyre condition, which warrants a check of the current rims for structural deformation. Given the distance covered, verifying the condition of the brake discs and calipers for thinning or sticking is essential to ensure the vehicle is not nearing immediate failure.
