2007 Lexus RX400H 3.3L Petrol · RA57 BBX

This 2007 Lexus RX400h presents a clean MOT pass from June 2025 with no defects recorded, which indicates it met the minimum legal standards at that time. However, the two preceding annual tests each included a same-day fail followed by a pass, also with no defects listed. The absence of any recorded failure items or advisories across all tests is unusual and suggests either very minor issues such as a headlamp aim or a bulb were rectified immediately, or the DVSA record may be incomplete. The maintenance trend appears stable on paper, but the lack of advisory history means there is no documented trail of wear items being monitored. The odometer reads 256,458 miles, equating to roughly 13,500 miles per year over 19 years. That is a high annual mileage, reflecting consistent heavy use. The mileage accumulation between tests is steady: approximately 19,600 miles from June 2023 to June 2024, and a similar 19,800 miles from June 2024 to June 2025. There are no suspicious gaps or sudden jumps, which supports a pattern of regular long-distance driving rather than sporadic use. Given the high mileage and the absence of any recorded advisories, a prospective buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection. Focus on suspension components such as lower control arm bushes, anti-roll bar links, and coil springs, which commonly fatigue at this mileage. Brake discs and pads will likely have been replaced multiple times, but check for binding callipers or uneven wear. The hybrid battery pack is a critical item; its health cannot be assessed from MOT data alone. Also examine the underside for structural corrosion, particularly at suspension mounting points and subframes, as Lexus models of this era can suffer from rust in damp climates. Without any advisory history to guide you, a pre-purchase inspection by a specialist is strongly recommended.
