2013 Lexus CT 1.8L Hybrid electric · YX63 ADO

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a consistent trend of deferred repairs regarding wear and tear items. The most recent test in December 2025 at 148,980 miles passed the vehicle despite multiple advisories for worn brake discs, thin pads, and leaking shock absorbers. While the car consistently passes tests, the recurring nature of failures related to tyres and suspension components suggests the owner tends to address faults only when they reach the point of legal failure rather than performing proactive preventative maintenance. The mileage pattern is typical for a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 11,500 miles per year. There is a notable gap in data between July 2016 at 6,697 miles and December 2020 at 74,398 miles, indicating a period of very low use or storage. Since that point, the vehicle has seen significantly higher usage, covering over 70,000 miles in five years. This recent surge explains the accelerated degradation of consumables like tyres and braking hardware noted in the later records. A buyer should conduct a close inspection of the suspension system, as the shock absorbers have been flagged for oil misting since 2022 and have now progressed to both rear units and the offside front. The braking system also requires immediate attention; the December 2025 advisory for worn front discs and thin rear pads indicates these components are nearing replacement. Given the history of failing for tyres worn to the limit or with structural tears, the buyer should also check for uneven wear patterns which might indicate alignment issues or camber causing the premature failure of the rear tyres. The front registration plate is also noted as deteriorated and requires replacement to ensure legal compliance.
