2005 Lexus RX450H 3.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · AD05 AEO

The 2025‑11‑11 MOT at 183,001 miles passed with no defects recorded, confirming current roadworthiness. The alternating pass and fail entries from 2023‑08‑31 through 2025‑11‑10 show no persistent mechanical failures, indicating a stable maintenance record. At an average of 8,714 miles per year the vehicle’s mileage aligns with typical usage for a 21‑year‑old model. The interval from 2023‑09‑01 (170,039 miles) to 2024‑09‑07 (177,507 miles) saw a rise of 7,473 miles over 11 months, suggesting regular driving, while the short 5‑mile gap between the August and September 2023 tests reflects routine testing rather than extended storage. A buyer should examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, as the earlier tests flagged no defects but the mileage accumulation over two years could accelerate such wear. Inspect the brake system for binding calipers, uneven disc wear, and ensure the brake pads and discs are within service limits. Check the chassis and wheel arches for structural rust, especially on the rear subframe, and verify that any previous advisories on corrosion have been fully remedied. Given the hybrid nature of the RX450H, the buyer should also verify the condition of the hybrid battery and associated high‑voltage components, although the MOT record does not capture those items. Overall, the vehicle appears well maintained with a consistent record, but a thorough in‑person inspection of the listed mechanical areas is advisable before purchase.
