2018 Lexus IS 2.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · M222 ACY

The 2018 Lexus IS presents a clean roadworthiness profile with a stable maintenance trend evidenced by the most recent DVSA test on 10 May 2025 at 57,532 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Every annual examination from 8 May 2021 through 10 May 2025 resulted in a fault free certificate. The vehicle shows no recurring advisories on suspension bushes, coil springs, brake calipers, discs, exhaust emissions or structural corrosion across that timeline. Mileage accumulation sits within typical bounds for an eight year old saloon. The odometer advanced from 18,809 miles at the 8 May 2021 test to 27,887 miles on 30 April 2022, then 36,611 miles on 13 May 2023, 44,445 miles on 27 April 2024 and 57,532 miles on 10 May 2025. Annual increments ranged between roughly 7,800 and 13,100 miles, with the final year showing slightly heavier use but no erratic gaps or long standing periods that would raise moisture related concerns. The unbroken pass record implies previous keepers adhered to scheduled servicing and rectified any wear before each test. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the absent MOT flags. At near 58,000 miles the original suspension bushes and damper mounts warrant tactile checks for age related cracking. Brake disc thickness and caliper slide freedom need measuring even though testers noted no binding. Underbody cavities and sills require scrutiny for latent corrosion given the vehicle's 2018 manufacture date. The clean history reduces risk but does not nullify wear on consumables. Tyre tread depth and wiper blade condition should be verified at point of sale. Engine oil viscosity and transmission fluid colour offer further insight into owner care beyond the scope of MOT checks.
