2006 LEXUS IS2502.5L Petrol

This Lexus IS250 presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean MOT history. The most recent test on 7 May 2025 at 111,675 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to 2022, suggesting the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that avoids common age-related failures. The mileage is notably low for a twenty-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 5,584 miles per year. Between 16 May 2022 and 10 May 2023, the car covered 11,529 miles, which represents the highest period of use in the recorded data. Since then, the annual mileage has dropped significantly, with only 4,883 miles added between May 2024 and May 2025. This shift toward lighter use may indicate the car is now used sparingly or has spent more time stationary. The absence of advisories across multiple years is unusual for a vehicle of this vintage. While the record shows no failures for suspension bushes, brake discs, or structural corrosion, the lack of reported wear on consumables suggests a very diligent owner or a tester who has been lenient. A buyer should specifically check for perished rubber seals and tyre cracking, as low-mileage cars often suffer from age-related degradation rather than wear-and-tear. Particular attention should be paid to the braking system and fluid condition. Because the MOT records show no binding calipers or worn pads over the last four years, it is possible the components have remained static for long periods. A physical inspection should verify that the brake fluid is fresh and that the engine oil has been changed regardless of the low mileage to ensure the internal components remain lubricated.
