2015 Lexus GS 2.5L Hybrid electric · B24 DRE

The most recent MOT on 2025-11-13 shows a failed result at 80,441 miles, with three critical issues: a severely deteriorated nearside front lower suspension arm ball joint dust cover, an offside rear inner tyre worn close to the legal limit, and a nearside rear outer tyre with a shallow cut and inner edge wear. A reversing lamp was also inoperative. This contrasts with the passed MOT on the same date, suggesting a possible administrative error or conflicting test outcomes. Buyers should verify the vehicle’s current MOT status and ensure all defects were rectified. Recurring tyre-related defects dominate the history, including cuts, wear, and cracking on multiple tyres since 2022. The nearside rear tyre has shown consistent issues, with cuts and edge wear noted in 2022, 2024, and 2025. Suspension components, particularly the nearside front lower ball joint dust cover, have also been flagged twice. These patterns indicate ongoing wear rather than isolated incidents, raising concerns about potential neglect or heavy use. The vehicle’s mileage of 80,441 miles over 11 years equates to ~7,313 miles annually, which is typical for its age. This suggests moderate use rather than excessive wear, but the repeated tyre and suspension issues imply accelerated degradation in specific areas.
