2019 Lexus UX 2.0L Hybrid electric (clean) · AW05 TDW

A largely unblemished MOT record, punctuated only by advisory notes on tyre fitting and front‑brake disc condition, indicates the 2019 Lexus UX has avoided outright failures but is beginning to show the wear expected on high‑usage components; the most recent test on 25 June 2026 confirmed a pass despite the rear‑tyre fitting advisory. At 86 237 mi the car averages just over 12 000 mi per year, a mileage rate that sits above the typical UK average for a seven‑year‑old vehicle. The annual testing schedule shows no significant gaps, meaning the recorded mileage reflects consistent use rather than long periods of storage. This level of cumulative distance will naturally accelerate wear on consumables such as brake discs, tyres and suspension bushings, and it raises the likelihood that components approaching the end of their service life may need attention sooner rather than later. The front‑brake disc advisory recorded in July 2024 flagged wear, pitting or scoring that, while not yet a failure, suggests the discs are approaching their minimum thickness. On a test drive feel for any pedal pulsation, grinding noises or a noticeable change in braking feel, especially under moderate braking; a visual inspection should confirm disc thickness remains within the legal limit and that the pads are not excessively worn. The tyre advisories from 2022 (nail in the near‑side front) and 2026 (rear tyre mounted on the wrong side) point to past handling issues – inspect both front and rear tyres for punctures, sidewall bulges, uneven wear patterns and verify correct side‑wall orientation; any nail‑related damage should be repaired or the tyre replaced. Beyond brakes and tyres, confirm that the driver’s view is unobstructed – check that the windscreen, wipers and mirrors provide a clear line of sight, as the 2022 advisory noted items removed from view. Listen for any clunks or knocks over bumps that could indicate worn suspension bushes or loose steering components, and verify that steering feels centred without pull. A comprehensive pre‑purchase inspection that focuses on these areas will give a realistic picture of remaining service life and any imminent maintenance costs.
