2023 Lexus LS 3.5L Hybrid electric · TA06 BBY

The most recent MOT, carried out on 12 February 2026, was a clean pass at 2 010 miles with no recorded defects. With only a single MOT entry this far back, there is no recurring mechanical pattern to analyse, and the trend is therefore stable rather than worsening. At roughly three years old, the recorded mileage of 2 010 miles works out to about 670 miles per year – far below the average for a vehicle of this age. Low mileage can be a positive sign of light use, but it can also indicate long periods of inactivity. Prolonged standing can allow seals, rubber hoses, and tyre rubber to dry out, and batteries may lose capacity faster than a higher‑mileage, regularly driven car. Because the mileage signal is ambiguous, it is prudent to treat the low‑usage figure as a neutral indicator rather than a guarantee of low wear. Given the clean MOT and the very low mileage, the most serious safety risks are likely to be related to age‑related deterioration rather than wear‑related component failure. A buyer should therefore focus on the condition of items that age regardless of miles: tyre tread depth and sidewall integrity, rubber hoses and belts, brake discs and pads (checking for rust or uneven wear), the battery’s charge holding ability, and any visible corrosion on the under‑carriage or suspension joints. A full service history and confirmation that the car has been stored in a dry environment would also help to rule out hidden damage. Key checks for a prospective buyer: - Inspect tyres for tread depth, cracks, and sidewall bulges.
