Our Verdict
Proceed with caution and a thorough mech
When viewing this Lexus IS, pay close attention to the braking system. The MOT history shows a failure in 2023 due to worn discs and pads, followed by a report of fluctuating front service brakes in April 2026. Ensure you test the brake pedal feel and listen for any unusual noises or vibrations during a test drive.
Additionally, inspect the tyres carefully. The 2023 and 2025 MOT records highlight issues with tyres being worn on the edges or reaching legal limits. Check for uneven tread wear, which could indicate alignment or suspension issues. Ask the seller for evidence of recent brake servicing and tyre replacements to ensure the issues noted in previous MOTs have been addressed.
As a 2.5L hybrid, this vehicle is designed for efficiency, though running costs will be influenced by its high mileage. Fuel economy should be relatively competitive for its engine size due to the hybrid electric powertrain.
Maintenance costs may be higher than average due to the recent history of brake component replacements and tyre issues. You should budget for regular servicing of the hybrid system and standard mechanical upkeep. Estimated annual running costs, including fuel, tax, insurance, and maintenance, fall in the mid-range for this class of vehicle.
Focus heavily on the braking hardware. The MOT history specifically notes pitted or scored discs and thin pads in 2023, and more recently, fluctuating front service brakes in 2026. A mechanic should verify the condition of the calipers and discs.
Examine the suspension and wheel alignment. The repeated MOT advisories and failures regarding tyres being 'worn on edge' in both 2023 and 2025 suggest that the vehicle may have alignment issues or worn suspension components that could lead to premature tyre degradation.
This 2014 Lexus IS hybrid has covered 128,416 miles since its first registration in September 2014. The MOT history reveals a pattern of maintenance requirements, specifically regarding brake discs, pads, and tyre wear patterns. While the most recent test in April 2026 was a pass, the mileage is significantly higher than the model average of 8,645 miles per year.
Aggregate data from 12,871 analysed vehicles shows an 89.9% MOT pass rate for this model, with common failures relating to tyres and lighting.
