2014 Lexus CT 1.8L Hybrid electric · AD14 FEZ

This 2014 Lexus CT passed its most recent MOT on 22 May 2026 at 130,603 miles, but the test revealed two advisories that deserve close attention. The nearside front tyre is showing signs of damage, cracking, or perishing, and the rear brake disc is worn, pitted, and scored. Neither issue failed the vehicle, but both signal active wear that will need monitoring or replacement soon. The pattern across the last year is concerning. In May 2025, the same vehicle failed its MOT with brake imbalance across the rear axle, worn front tyres close to the legal limit, a malfunctioning tyre pressure monitoring system, and a non-working rear fog lamp. It then passed a retest the same day after remedial work. Twelve months later, at the 2026 test, the front tyre damage and rear brake disc wear have both returned, suggesting either incomplete repair, inadequate servicing, or ongoing mechanical neglect between tests. The mileage context is roughly typical for the vehicle's age—just over 10,800 miles per year. There is no obvious signal of exceptional hard use or long standing periods, so the recurring brake and tyre issues point more toward poor maintenance or a lack of preventive replacement than to damage from extreme driving conditions. The overall trend is worsening.
