LEXUS LS2019 · 3.5L HYBRID ELECTRIC

The vehicle currently holds a clean MOT pass record from May 2025, but you should be aware that this certificate is now almost a year old relative to today's date. The history shows a sudden and sharp shift from a long period of reliability to a significant failure just days before that final pass. The main risk pattern centers on the nearside front corner of the car. In late April 2025, the tester recorded a dangerous defect where the nearside front tyre had a cut deep enough to reach the ply or cords, alongside a serious brake issue where the service brake was excessively fluctuating. Both headlamps were also flagged for aiming too high. The fact that the vehicle passed nine days later confirms these items were addressed, but the clustering of defects on one side suggests possible impact damage, such as hitting a pothole or a curb. Prior to 2025, the MOT history is entirely clean with no defects or advisories recorded from 2022 through 2024. This indicates the trend was stable and well-maintained for several years before the isolated spike in failures last year. The condition appears to be improving again following the repairs, but the 2025 incident breaks the previous pattern of trouble-free motoring. With roughly 33,994 miles over seven years, this Lexus has covered very low mileage, averaging under 4,900 miles per year.
