2016 Lexus RX 3.5L Hybrid electric · W18 MAC

The vehicle presents a consistent history of passes, though the most recent inspection indicates a shift toward reactive rather than proactive maintenance. In the 2026 test at 62,378 miles, the tester identified thin brake pads on both the offside front and offside rear, along with perishing and cracking on the nearside and offside rear tyres. These findings suggest that while the vehicle was clean in 2025, consumable components are now reaching the end of their functional life. The presence of perished rubber on the tyres indicates the car may have sat for extended periods despite the relatively low annual mileage. At 62,378 miles over ten years, the Lexus has averaged approximately 6,200 miles per year, which aligns with typical low-use patterns for its age. The gap between 2022 and 2025 shows a clean record, suggesting the vehicle was in good mechanical condition during that interval. However, the January 2024 test at 41,262 miles flagged front tyres worn close to the legal limit and showing edge wear. This specific pattern often points toward alignment issues or worn suspension bushes that were not addressed before the subsequent test. The overall mechanical trend remains stable as no structural corrosion or major mechanical failures have been recorded to date. A buyer should specifically verify the condition of the suspension geometry if the edge wear noted in 2024 has not been rectified. Given the thin brake pads and aged tyres flagged in the 2026 entry, immediate attention to these items is required to ensure the vehicle remains roadworthy. The record reflects a well-used vehicle that is now requiring a standard service to replace worn rubber and friction components.
