2003 LEXUS GS3003.0L Petrol

The 2026‑04‑02 MOT, conducted at 183,750 miles, passed with no defects, confirming that the vehicle is presently roadworthy. The consecutive passes in 2023‑04‑26 and 2025‑04‑05 indicate a stable maintenance trend, with no evidence of worsening faults since the earlier 2023‑03‑17 failure. Mileage has risen from 115,579 miles in the 2017 test to 183,750 miles in the 2026 test, an increase of 68,171 miles over nine years, averaging roughly 7,600 miles per year, which aligns with the typical usage for a 2003 Lexus GS300. The intervals between successive tests show steady progression, with the jump from 167,027 miles in April 2023 to 178,631 miles in April 2025 representing 11,604 miles in just over a year, further supporting consistent annual mileage. A buyer should focus on the suspension components that repeatedly appeared as excessive wear on all upper arm ball joints in 2023, inspecting bushes, coil springs and checking for binding calipers. The ABS warning lamp recorded in 2023 suggests a functional test of the anti‑lock system is advisable, while the front oil leak noted in 2023 and the major exhaust leak in 2023‑03‑17 require examination of the front gasket and exhaust manifold for leaks or corrosion. The near‑side tyre wear close to the legal limit and the previous tyre cuts indicate a need to measure tread depth and assess edge wear, and the deteriorated registration plates and limited sill inspection call for a thorough visual and tactile inspection for rust.
