2010 Lexus RX450H 3.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · AD60 XPU

The Lexus RX450H presents a highly stable maintenance trend, evidenced by a flawless MOT record spanning the last four years. The most recent test on 25 April 2025 at 173,188 miles passed without a single defect or advisory, mirroring the clean bills of health recorded in 2022, 2023, and 2024. This consistent pattern indicates a vehicle kept in sound mechanical order, with no recurring faults or escalating wear issues flagged by examiners. Buyers must note that this MOT certificate expired in April 2026, meaning the vehicle currently lacks a valid test certificate as of today's date. The mileage accumulation aligns closely with typical usage for a sixteen-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 10,000 miles annually. Between 1 April 2022 at 148,657 miles and 30 March 2023 at 158,137 miles, the SUV covered approximately 9,480 miles. The subsequent twelve months saw 5,605 miles added by 3 April 2024, followed by a return to higher usage with 9,446 miles accumulated by 25 April 2025. No significant gaps or sudden spikes in the odometer readings suggest long periods of standing or severe misuse, pointing instead to steady, predictable driving habits. Given the absence of recorded advisories, the inspection focus shifts from rectifying known faults to assessing the general condition of high-mileage hybrid components and typical wear items. A buyer should thoroughly inspect the regenerative braking system and hydraulic brake assemblies for signs of binding calipers or uneven disc wear, as hybrid vehicles often suffer from underused rear brakes. Suspension bushes and coil springs require close scrutiny for deterioration common at this mileage, alongside a detailed examination of the underbody and sills for structural corrosion. The hybrid battery's state of health and the condition of the drivetrain should also be verified, as these components represent the primary mechanical risks not explicitly covered by the standard MOT inspection.
