2014 Lexus CT 1.8L Hybrid electric (clean) · BJ14 VOV

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a persistent trend of unresolved mechanical wear. While the most recent test in August 2025 at 110,262 miles passed, it flagged a non-excessive oil leak from the timing tensioner and wear on the nearside rear suspension arm bush. These specific issues were also noted during the August 2024 test at 97,063 miles, indicating that the owner has opted to defer these repairs rather than addressing them proactively. The recorded mileage of 110,262 miles over approximately twelve years reflects an average usage of roughly 9,200 miles per annum, which aligns well with typical UK figures for this age. There is consistent usage between tests, such as the 13,200 miles driven between the 2024 and 2025 tests, and approximately 15,000 miles between 2023 and 2024. This regular use suggests the vehicle is driven regularly, which generally benefits seals and mechanical components compared to long periods of standing. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the rear suspension, specifically targeting the trailing arm bushes and pins, as these have been flagged for two consecutive years without rectification. The ongoing movement in these components will eventually lead to handling instability and premature tyre wear. Additionally, the recurring oil leak from the timing tensioner requires close monitoring to ensure the rate does not escalate into a critical failure, though the tester currently classifies it as not excessive.
