2013 Lexus RX 3.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · YX63 AEZ

The 2013 Lexus RX passed its most recent MOT test on 25 July 2024 with no defects recorded, suggesting a stable maintenance trend. However, a closer examination of the MOT history reveals recurring issues with tyre wear, which have been consistently flagged since 2018. The nearside and offside rear tyres have been worn close to the legal limit on multiple occasions, with the most recent test at 66,130 miles still showing some edge wear. The recorded mileage of 66,130 miles is relatively low for a vehicle of this age, indicating that it has been used lightly over the years. However, the mileage accumulation pattern is not entirely consistent, with a notable gap between 2017 and 2018. The vehicle's mileage increased rapidly between 2018 and 2020, with 16,000 miles added in just two years. This could be indicative of more frequent use or possible long periods of inactivity followed by rapid mileage accumulation. Given the recurring tyre wear issues, it is essential for a buyer to inspect the vehicle's tyres in person. The tyres should be checked for any signs of excessive wear, particularly on the edges, and the tread depth should be verified to ensure it meets the minimum legal requirements. Additionally, the vehicle's brakes should be inspected for any signs of wear or damage, particularly the front brake discs which were flagged as slightly corroded in the 2020 MOT test. The vehicle's suspension and steering components should also be examined for any signs of wear or damage, as these can be affected by the vehicle's mileage and usage patterns.
