1998 Lexus GS300 3.0L Petrol · R510 BNB

The vehicle has passed its most recent MOT test on 2026-03-07 at 153,471 miles, indicating that the maintenance trend is currently stable. However, the recent failure on 2026-03-06 at 153,441 miles suggests that there may be an underlying issue that was not detected by the tester. It is worth noting that the vehicle has not accumulated any significant mileage over the past two years, with only a 1,330-mile increase between the 2025 and 2026 tests. The vehicle's mileage pattern is notable for its low annual accumulation, averaging approximately 5,481 miles per year over the past 28 years. This is a relatively low mileage for a vehicle of this age, suggesting that it may have been subject to lighter use or long periods of standing. However, the recent back-to-back failures on the 2024-02-05 test, where the vehicle failed twice at the same mileage, raises concerns about the vehicle's maintenance history. The fact that the vehicle failed twice at the same mileage suggests that basic upkeep may have been skipped, potentially leading to more serious issues down the line. A buyer should inspect the vehicle's brakes, suspension, and exhaust system in person, as these components have been flagged in the MOT history. The recent failure on 2026-03-06 suggests that the rear brakes may be experiencing issues, while the back-to-back failures on the 2024-02-05 test indicate potential problems with the vehicle's structural integrity or suspension. Additionally, the vehicle's exhaust emissions should be checked, as the tester flagged this component on the 2024-02-05 test.
