2006 Lexus RX400 H SE-L CVT 3.3L Petrol · AE55 XLM

The most recent MOT test on 18 February 2023 at 193,085 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, following a failed attempt on the same date with no defects listed. The maintenance trend appears stable on paper, though the same-day fail and pass with no recorded faults points to an administrative or presentation issue at the testing station rather than a mechanical defect. With only one other test on record from 18 November 2021, the history is too sparse to confirm a resolving or worsening pattern. Between the November 2021 test at 182,651 miles and the February 2023 test at 193,085 miles, the vehicle covered 10,434 miles in roughly fifteen months. That aligns with the long-term average of about 9,654 miles per year for a 2006 model. The gap of over fourteen months between tests is wider than the standard twelve-month cycle, suggesting the car may have been off the road or delayed in booking. No rapid accumulation or standing-still pattern is evident from the two data points supplied. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the high mileage and age. The clean MOT record means no advisories exist for corrosion or exhaust emissions, but the CVT drivetrain and hybrid system on the RX400h warrant a diagnostic scan for fault codes. The same-day fail with no defects recorded in February 2023 means the DVSA entry offers no mechanical insight, so physical checks remain essential before purchase.
