LEXUS IS250C2011 · 2.5L PETROL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent MOT in July 2025 at 54,918 miles with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend shows an improvement following a failure in August 2024. While the car was previously flagged for consumable-related failures, the clean sheet from the latest test indicates that the current owner has addressed outstanding issues and is maintaining the vehicle to a legal standard. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a fifteen-year-old Lexus, averaging approximately 3,600 miles per year. The data shows consistent low-usage patterns, moving from 40,434 miles in August 2022 to 54,918 miles in July 2025. This low mileage suggests minimal mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine, though long periods of standing can lead to degradation of rubber-based components and de-fluidization which is not fully captured by the MOT test results alone. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system, as the record shows thin front brake pads in both 2022 and 2023. Although these have likely been replaced, an inspector should check for uneven disc wear or seized calipers given the low annual mileage. The recurring issues with low rear tyre tread depth in 2023 and 2024 suggest a history of neglecting basic consumable maintenance until a failure became imminent. Checking the current age of the tyres and suspension bushings is vital to ensure the low mileage has not resulted in dry rot or cracking of the materials.
