2013 Lexus IS 300H Premier CVT 2.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · AA10 MUS

The 2013 Lexus IS 300H Premier CVT presents a stable roadworthiness trend, with the most recent test on 1 August 2025 at 171,827 miles returning a pass and no defects recorded. Prior annual tests in July 2024, July 2023, and July 2022 also passed cleanly, indicating the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that clears the MOT threshold without outstanding advisories. Mileage sits high for a thirteen-year-old executive hybrid at 171,827 recorded miles, averaging roughly 13,200 miles per year. The jump from 117,585 miles on 18 July 2022 to 126,836 miles by 20 July 2023 shows near 9,300 miles in a year, then 23,357 miles between July 2023 and July 2024, and a further 21,634 miles to the 2025 test, confirming sustained high-use motoring. A failed test on 15 July 2022 at 117,307 miles preceded the pass three days later at 117,585 miles, though the record lists no defects for either, suggesting a possible administrative or retest anomaly rather than a mechanical fault. Given the clean MOT history with no advisories on suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, or structural corrosion, the buyer should still commission an independent inspection of hybrid drivetrain health and HV battery condition, as MOT does not assess battery degradation. High annual mileage implies accelerated wear on consumables and dampers not always visible at test. Verify service history matches the recorded mileages and confirm no undisclosed accident repair exists behind the clean structural entries. The absence of flagged faults reflects compliance at test points, not a guarantee of component life remaining on a 171,000-mile powertrain.
