2012 Lexus CT 1.8L Hybrid electric (clean) · BG12 PLJ

The 2012 Lexus CT most recently passed its MOT on 10 July 2025 at 167,334 mi. The test recorded cuts on all four tyres (nearside rear, nearside front, off‑side rear) that are not deep enough to reach the ply or cords, and a deteriorated front registration plate. No outright failures were noted. A pattern emerges around tyre health. In 2024 the front tyres were flagged as worn close to the legal limit, and in 2025 all four tyres now show surface cuts. Earlier MOTs highlighted thin front brake pads (2023) and rear suspension arm bush wear (2022). The recurring tyre issues suggest the tyre‑related risk is growing, while the brake and suspension items have not resurfaced in the latest test. The trend appears to be worsening on the tyre front, but otherwise stable – no new safety‑critical defects have been recorded since 2022. The mileage of 167,334 mi over 14 years averages about 12 k mi per year, which is typical for a vehicle of this age. This level of use does not alone indicate excessive wear, but the tyre condition points to either aggressive driving, harsh road surfaces, or insufficient tyre replacement.
