2007 Lexus RX400H 3.3L Hybrid electric · UM02 DRZ

The Lexus RX400H shows a history of consistent testing but reveals recurring issues with suspension components and tyre maintenance. In the most recent test on April 2026 at 187,305 miles, the vehicle passed after an initial failure for a nearside rear tyre with tread depth below the legal 1.6mm limit. This mirrors a failure in April 2025 at 181,671 miles, where the car failed for both an offside front tyre and a worn anti-roll bar bush. The persistence of tyre failures suggests that previous owners may have neglected basic consumable upkeep until prompted by an MOT failure. At 187,305 miles over 19 years, the vehicle averages approximately 9,850 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a luxury SUV of this age. The mileage progression shows steady annual use, with roughly 4,000 miles covered between the 2025 and 2026 tests. However, the record consistently notes light misting of oil on the offside front shock absorbers, dating back to April 2024 at 177,397 miles. This indicates a slow but ongoing leak that has not yet reached a critical state but requires monitoring for potential damper failure. The mechanical integrity of the suspension remains the primary area of concern. Repeated mentions of worn bushes and anti-roll bars indicate that the heavy chassis is putting stress on the rubber components. While the headlamp lens issues are noted across multiple tests as not seriously reducing light output, they represent only a minor cosmetic-related defect. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of all suspension arms and bushings to ensure that the reported wear hasn't progressed into significant play that would affect handling or safety.
